Background Heritage Question

add one more for the Irish. I heard it said that the Romans never got far enough north to sleep with us. Others say it was too cold and we were too crazy for the Romans to bother with. And that was the second theory, the Irish all slept together and the gene pool got a little shallow.

I was always called the kid with the cheap Irish skin. Now I've got a dx.

This is getting interesting....definitely a trend slanted towards Ireland and Northern Europe! And a few people mentioning Native American, which I would expect since that population would have had the shortest exposure to gluten. It would be interesting to see what the incidence is with 100% Native Americans....I'll bet it's very high. I've seen a couple of people from South Africa posting here, also Australia...it would be interesting to know about their heritage too!

      Hello Dc91 and welcome to the forum! Could you first just add the lab ranges for us for your TTG IgA Antibodies as they vary?   Cristiana

      Sorry I should have said these bloods were taken Friday morning, a week after the first initial bloods. So I hadn’t starved myself of gluten before these bloods were taken.

      Celiac or not?

      By Dc91 · Posted

      Hi all, I’m new here and completely new to celiac.  last week I went to my doctors for acid reflux issues, she also took bloods and sent them off. Last Thursday I got my TTG IgA Antibodies test come back as >100u/ML which the doctor has referred me to the celiac team at my local hospital. I have stopped eating gluten since Friday morning. (I’m guessing this will take weeks or months to be seen)   earlier this evening I got a new result through for Endomysial IgA antibody = Weak positive.    I’m guessing this gives me the difinitive answer I’ve been looking for? A positive is a positive. any help would be greatly appreciated.
