Where is your pain?

I know not everyone with celiac has abdominal pain, but if you do, where is it located? I have intense pain below my belly button, and also on the left & right sides (also lower than my navel), along with intermittent diarrhea. My colonoscopy was clean... initially my doctor was thinking IBD, but that’s been ruled out, so now I’m wondering about possible celiac. I also have Hashimotos (autoimmune thyroid). My pain isn’t really crampy in nature.... just there... and tender if you push on my belly anywhere below my belly button.

My celiac abdominal pain was usually in my lower right side. Sometimes it could feel like it was a dull ache throughout my gut, but the most intense was the lower-right pain.

      Help understanding test results after negative biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great questions! Elevated DGP-IgA is most commonly linked to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), but other factors could play a role. Other autoimmune conditions, intestinal permeability (leaky gut), or even food sensitivities (e.g., dairy or FODMAPs) could also contribute to similar symptoms or test results. Fluctuating iron levels are common in celiac and NCGS due to malabsorption, but other causes like menstrual blood loss, dietary deficiencies, or gut infections (e.g., H. pylori) should also be considered. If celiac is ruled out, trying a strict gluten-free diet for several weeks can help determine if NCGS is the issue. Working with a healthcare provider to investigate further is key—let us know how it goes!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By trents · Posted

      Gliadin (Deamidated)Ab (IgA) is DGP-IGA. You really need to have a total IGA done. This might be helpful. As you can see, terminology varies from place to place but this article pretty much lays out all the options in that regard.

      So far the numbers, and references that I have are: Gliadin (Deamidated)Ab (IgA) <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected Gliadin (Deamidated)Ab (IgG) <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected now waiting on the Tissue Transglutaminaseab, IgA

      No, if you are IGA deficient, your IGA celiac antibody test numbers will be lower than they ought to be so they should not be relied upon if they are in the normal range.

      So sorry - just replied a minute ago. Not sure if I ever had a total IgA test done for deficiency, but since I have had perfect numbers in the past, wouldn't it be redundant?
