Just make sure you have been eating gluten daily for 8 to 12 weeks prior to the blood draw otherwise the celiac tests will not work.

Haven't cut it out yet. I've seen where they list what to have tested but I think some of it is grouped in the Celiac panel and I wasn't sure if anything was overlooked. I had my blood drawn 2 days ago so hopefully I'll have some answers soon. Do I need to be eating gluten for the gastroenterologist? Thanks

Dr. suspects an autoimmune disorder just trying to nail down which one(s). I have what appears to be DH, among other issues.

Yes.  Keep eating gluten until you are sure all testing (including the endoscopy if you get one scheduled) is done.  

Keep doing your health research.  ?  It helps when advocating for yourself!

I looked up 341142 celiac disease complete panel and the only test missing is EMA.

Thank you Tessa (that's my daughter's name by the way). If the tests are inconclusive I'll ask about that one!

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
