- trents replied to Jessica H's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms5Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled yet? Again, let me stress that it is important to not begin the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet until all testing... -

No other testing has been done at this point, though I wonder if my diagnosis will prompt that. My main symptoms have been bowel related and I’ve had severe migraines for several years now but I’ve been seeing a neurologist for that and have it under control, though I now wonder if the migraines have been a symptom of Celiac all along. -

Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)
They do use stages but only when evaluated the damage done to the villi of the small bowel after looking at the biopsy samples. I'm referring to the "Marsh" scale. As far as I know, "stages" has never been applied to blood antibody test scores. It would not be appropriate to assign stages based on antibody scores as the damage done would depend not only... -

Hello there, I am just a newbie starting to learn how to cope with gluten and potentially celiac. I learned that the ferments are great for the gluten-free nutrition. I have beed drawn to kefir for quite many a year and, since the culture grows so pungently, I would like to share it with whoever is interested. Supposedly it falls into that category... -

Help Interpreting My Lab Results?
I did start a new thread but here are the results with the modifications in case anyone wants to reply in this thread also. Thanks for any insight.

Again, let me stress that it is important to not begin the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet until all testing related to celiac diagnosis is complete.

As far as I know, "stages" has never been applied to blood antibody test scores. It would not be appropriate to assign stages based on antibody scores as the damage done would depend not only the antibody levels in the blood at the time of testing but the duration of it and the intensity of it over time since the onset. And those are all very subjective things. I understand your concern about irreparable damage done to body systems but you are fairly young and your body still has very good rejuvenation powers.

Whoever is interested in the kefir culture, just lmk - I live in NYC. kindly, -mo -
