Bloodwork report

I recently posted about my bloodwork looking for advice until I talk to my doctor. I have added a photo this time. With only one test slightly high would the possibility of celiac be eliminated? Thank you.Screenshot_20210606-191421_Drive.webp.f47ccbef0da65db5a30ced9fc11215f0.webp

Unfortunately having just one positive test does NOT eliminate the possibility of celiac disease.

Personally I think your results indicate that you're more likely to have celiac disease, than not. It is a positive test, and this "weak positive" category seems to be something newer, as most TTG test results are just positive or negative for it. 

Were you eating gluten daily, at least a slice of bread, right up until your test? If not, the test results might be lower than normal. 

What did your doctor say? At this point they should probably recommend an endoscopy.

Thank you for your response. Yes, I was eating gluten daily. Some sort of bread or crackers daily at least. 

I just got my results through my portal on labcorp on Sat so I have not spoke with my doctor yet. Hopefully soon.

Thank you for your response. I hopefully will get a call from the doctor soon. I got my lab results online Sat.

You may also want to ask your doctor about the genetic tests for celiac disease, although this would not diagnose celiac disease, but would reveal a family genetic propensity for it. Also, at the very least your "weak positive" would, to me, indicate gluten sensitivity. Currently we have no tests for non-celiac gluten sensitivity, but the need for a gluten-free diet to treat it would be the same. About ~12% people have gluten sensitivity, while only ~1% have celiac disease.

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
