- MichelleGrant replied to MichelleGrant's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms1Months of diarrhea - Testing question
ps for the most part I don't eat much gluten day to day. In the past it was like a bucket for me. I could eat a little and be ok. But I had to be careful. If I ate too much I'd get tired and lethargic. Lately any gluten makes me very very sick. At first I didn't understand what was going on, and now I'm onto it. I'll never eat gluten again - unless I... -

Months of diarrhea - Testing question
I've been gluten intolerant for as long as I can remember. I get terrible cramps and fatigue/ feel like I've got the flu. In the last 3 months I've felt increasingly unwell. I started to get very bad diarrhea after eating gluten, which would take 4-5 days to recover from with a very bland gluten-free diet. It escalated 4 weeks ago after having a... -

Recent research has shown that erythritol and xylitol likely increase the risk of cardiovascular events, due to causing platelet clumping, for higher risk people. This effect occurred when these sugar substitutes were used in concentrations commonly found in home made and commercially produced food products and may be a problem with other sugar alcohols as...- artificial sweeteners

Based on your test results (IgG ELISA: 106 units, IgA ELISA: 135 units, tTG: 251 units), all of which are well above the >30 units threshold for moderate to strong positive, there is a very high likelihood—as you noted—that you have celiac disease. While a biopsy was traditionally considered the gold standard for confirmation, your exceptionally elevated ant... -

Hi Scott, I just came across your article regarding blood tests to determine celiac disease and wanted to thank you for writing it so clearly. Today I pulled out my 20 year old test results from Immumo labs and followed along as I reread the article. I was first tested in April 2005. At the time I was told that I’m highly sensitive to gluten and m...

I'll never eat gluten again - unless I have to do the 6 week challenge. -

I've been gluten intolerant for as long as I can remember. I get terrible cramps and fatigue/ feel like I've got the flu. In the last 3 months I've felt increasingly unwell. I started to get very bad diarrhea after eating gluten, which would take 4-5 days to recover from with a very bland gluten-free diet. It escalated 4 weeks ago after having a small piece of bread. The diarrhea got so bad I went to the doctor thinking I had gastro. It was just before a trip overseas so he put me on antibiotics. The stool test for virus/ infection was negative. While overseas I had a terrible episode. I had some wheat (I know - I was missing western food), and that evening had chills for two hours. I had a bad episode of... -

Based on your test results (IgG ELISA: 106 units, IgA ELISA: 135 units, tTG: 251 units), all of which are well above the >30 units threshold for moderate to strong positive, there is a very high likelihood—as you noted—that you have celiac disease. While a biopsy was traditionally considered the gold standard for confirmation, your exceptionally elevated antibody levels, combined with your long-standing gluten sensitivity and strict adherence to a gluten-free diet, strongly support the diagnosis. Given that you’ve been gluten-free for 20 years, a biopsy now might not be reliable (since it requires gluten exposure to detect damage). Your assessment aligns with current... -
Hi Scott, I just came across your article regarding blood tests to determine celiac disease and wanted to thank you for writing it so clearly. Today I pulled out my 20 year old test results from Immumo labs and followed along as I reread the article. I was first tested in April 2005. At the time I was told that I’m highly sensitive to gluten and must avoid but the practitioner would not say I had celiac disease without a biopsy to confirm. Based on the information in the article, it looks like there’s a 97% chance that I have celiac disease [here are my results: IgG ELISA test :106 units; IgA ELISA: 135 units; tTG: 251units). The range for all the tests is: <20=negative, 20-30=week positive, >30units...

The description of their patented technology is quite vague, so I would say beware of it until you have more information.
