Apologies for jumping on here, but I found your comment very interesting.

For some background I have coeliac symptoms, but tested negative (or more accurately below threshold for a postive test - very small amounts of antibodies were there) on tTG, and DCP. I am not igA deficient. I have the HLA-DQ8 gene.

I have been looking into getting the anti-endomysial blood test to see if that was positive however your comment made me pause.

I have persistantly low ferritin (under 10), dipping into anemia sometimes. I have persistently low vitamin D. I periodically treat both of these with supplements to get them into normal range. My ferritin is currently low again. It was also noted on one of my blood tests my IgM was below the normal range and my GP didn't know why.

Is it possible that I might just not be making enough coeliac antibodies due to deficincies? Or would I need to have very severe deficeiences for this to be possible? Maybe this isn't likely however as i've had other antibody tests which were positive (hashimotos, anti-mitochondrial) or are the production of some antibody types more severly impacted by deficiencies than others?

Thanks!

Have you had total IGA level tested? If total IGA is low, it will often cause false negatives in other celiac antibody tests such as the tTG-IGA.

Okay, I'll mention one more thing. No, IMO you have not had a complete battery of tests. IIR, you have not even had a total IGA test done. If total IGA is low, it can drive down scores in individual I

Total IGA is not a standard test ordered when doctors are checking for celiac disease. It should be but many physicians are operating under the dated assumption that IGA deficiency only happens with p

Thanks for your reply :)

Yes my IgA is normal, only my IgM was slightly low (but nowhere near the level of a IgM deficiency which are apparently incredibly rare)

Immunoglobulin m, I don't think this being a bit low is directly relevant to my coeliac antibody tests. However, I didn't know what another user posted about iron and vit d deficieny impacting antibody production. So i just mentioned it on the off chance it was relevant :)

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Thanks, Scott and Trents. Scott, tastes vary of course. The metallic taste may just be me. As to the filtration efficacy, I can only add that the micron level to remove a smaller protein chain must be pretty tight. What about the impact of hydrolization on the R5 test? I've been told it presents a challenge. Trents, thanks for the clarification. I did not draw this distinction, but can. I honestly didn't perceive the nuance.  Appreciate the feedback from you both.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?

      Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.
