Testing

The doctor ordered a blood test labeled “ gluten IgE. Is this where I would need to eat gluten or avoid gluten to see if I am allergic or sensitive to it? 
not sure what IgE stands for. Under priority I see “routine”. Does this mean I will get routinely blood taken to see if I am positive for gluten sensitive or if I have celiac?

IgE is the type of antibody seen in allergies. This would be a test for allergies, which are different than celiac disease. One does not have to eat gluten to prepare for an allergy test.

The tests for celiac disease look at IgA and/or IgG antibodies.

Routine priority just means that the test does not have to be performed by the laboratory on a rush basis once they get the sample.

This article might be helpful and covers the main blood tests for celiac disease, and IgE is not one of them.

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      It doesn’t specify if it’s TTG I’m not sure how to tell for that. That would be so sad. We never eat out I try to be so strict. Yes many dental products have gluten! I only use ones that don’t on myself. No follow up procedure has been done for healing. That is something I will ask about. Thank you for the suggestion. I don’t take any ...

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      Is that TTG-IGA that is slightly elevated? That could indicate you are still getting some gluten in your diet. That should be within normal range I would think if you were truly gluten free. As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think...

Things got a lot worse when I hit 25, eventually got a diagnosis and I am currently 29. Yes, just recently saw my GI doctor in January and things looked pretty good. Very slightly elevated IgA but IgG was good. My ionized calcium is elevated t...

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      Do you have any sense of how long before your diagnosis the onset of your celiac disease may have been? For most of us, there are years that pass between the onset and finally getting a diagnosis and by that time damage has already been done to body systems. May we ask your age? Also, have you had any follow-up testing since diagnosis to check for celiac...

What would be a good supplement?

As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think dealing with that issue. Have you had a follow-up endoscopy to check for healing of the small bowel villi? Also, are you taking any magnesium supplements for bone and dental health? Very important. It works together with calcium.
