Antibodies after being glutened!

Hi all

Random question, how long would celiac antibodies take to return to normal after a glutening incident?

After going gluten-free orginally it took me about 6 months for my antibodies to be zero. Would the same thing happen with a accidental gluten consumption? Or would it be faster as it was a one off? 

Thanks 😊

The rate of decline (which is calculated as a “half-life”) will be the same so if the antibody level after glutening is lower than your original level when diagnosed it will take less time to get back down to normal.

I agree, a one time incident should not trigger prolonged high antibodies, but repeated low exposure could.

I believe you that you're gluten free. 

But, what are you eating?  

Do you eat nuts?  Legumes (aka beans)?  Citrus fruit?  Snails?

Processed gluten free facsimile foods?   Lollipops?

Daisies? 😸

Have you eliminated dairy products from your diet?

Do you eat lots of spinach? Peanuts? Soy?

These are foods high in oxalates, which form kidney stones.

Passing a kidney stone can cause pain in the lower abdomen, back, and groin. 

Here's an article with more information...

If your symptoms sound similar, perhaps it's worth a call to the doctor.

I eat dairy but not with lactose. I dont eat spinach or peanuts, some soy though

This pain is the same pain that lead to my diagnoses feb 22. After 6 months gluten free, it eased and eventually went away. Now its back. 

Ive been to the doctor and the hospital. They said all seems fine, except my crp levels are slightly high (which has always been the case for me)

Im so sick of being in pain

      9 year old- questionable results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @ABP! We can't comment on the test numbers you give as you didn't include the range for negative. Different labs use different units and different ranges. There are no industry standards for this so we need more information. If your daughter doesn't have celiac disease she still could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which some experts believe can be a precursor to celiac disease and is 10x more common than celiac disease. However, there is no test for it yet but it does share many of the same symptoms with celiac disease. Both require complete abstinence from gluten.  It is seldom the case during testing where all tests are positive, even for those who do have celiac disease. This is no different than when diagnosing other medical conditions and that is why it is typical to run numbers of tests that come at things from different angles when seeking to arrive at a diagnosis. It seems like you are at the point, since you have had both blood antibody testing and endoscopy/biopsy done, that you need to trial the gluten free diet. If her symptoms improve then you know all you need to know, whatever you label you want to give it. But given that apparently at least one celiac antibody blood test is positive and she has classic celiac symptoms such as slow growth, constipation and bloating, my money would be on celiac disease as opposed to NCGS.

      9 year old- questionable results

      By ABP · Posted

      My nine-year-old daughter has suffered with severe constipation and bloating for years as well as frequent mouth sores, and keratosis Polaris on her arms. She also has recently decreased on her growth curve her % going down gradually.  After seeing a gastroenterologist, her IgG GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG) was 22.4 while her IGA was normal. Her TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA was 11.9.  Most recently her genetic test for celiac was positive.  After an endoscopy her tissue showed inflammation of the tissue as well as , increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) but there was no blunting of the change in the villi.    It seems that every result that we get one out of two things positive rather than all leading to an inconclusive diagnosis. While we do have another appointment with the doctor to go over the results. I'm curious based on this information what others think.    I would hate to have her eliminate gluten if not necessary- but also don't want to not remove if it is necessary.    Signed Confused and Concerned Mama

      I guess using "GF" instead of "PL" would have been too easy! 😉

      Help with blood test result

      By trents · Posted

      I was wrong, however, about there being no particular health concerns associated with high total IGA: https://www.inspire.com/resources/chronic-disease/understanding-high-iga-levels-causes-impacts/ So maybe the physician's "borderline" remark is relevant to that.

      Sometimes that is the case but what is curious to me is the remark by your physician about being "borderline". I assume he was referring to the total IGA score but it just seems like an irrelevant remark when it is on the high side rather than being deficient.
