Hi 

I’m newly diagnosed and for the last 3 months every single day I’m thinking about my celiac. I’ve been in London for 3 months now and going back to LA tomorrow,but I feel even more anxious,because the day I got my diagnose I had a flight to London so never got a real chance to talk to my doctor face to face only through the  emails. I will have my appointment with my primary doctor to check my blood work. Never had any issues and now I’m panicking about my results. Googling nonstop and results scares me even more. Is it true that people with celiac are at risk of rare type of lymphoma? I’m so scared that I will become disable. Can I ask how long ago you were diagnosed and if you feel OK now or did you get additional health problems with celiac?

thank you

The intestinal lymphoma you are worried about is still rare, even among celiacs, and the good news is that research has shown that once you go gluten-free that risk drops to near normal after a few years. The articles on this are in this category:

      Months of diarrhea - Testing question

      By MichelleGrant · Posted

      I received my blood test results for celiac serology (attached file). Results were negative. Only thing not great is CRP at 5mg/L (indicating inflammation), High ferritin at 165 (also indicating inflammation). My doctor said to keep following a strict gluten-free diet and that my tolerance to gluten seems to have gotten worse, and created inflammation with all the diarrhea/ stomach issues. She said to also stay away from my other triggers which are alcohol, soy, legumes and some vegetables (eg. cabbage / cauliflower / brussel sprouts). I generally follow a low fodmap diet. The gluten-free diet is going well - things are returning to normal.

      Welcome to the forum, @Nikki03! What was the other result from the other physician's lab work? The test result you report in your post is not a celiac disease diagnostic test. It is a test for IGA deficiency. It is also known as "total IGA". There are other IGA antibody tests that are used to diagnose celiac disease but if you are IGA deficient, their scores will be artificially low. Obviously, you are not IGA deficient so if there were other IGA antibody tests run they should be trusted as accurate unless you had been on a gluten free or reduced gluten diet before the blood sample was taken. So, if you have other test results, please post them along with (this is important) their reference ranges. Raw...
