I was being treated for wheat/gluten intolerance had blood work and skin test positive for corn on skin test 5/6 blood work was negative for corn/maize and skin and blood work negative for wheat and gluten. I’ve been eating wheat and gluten again for three days and been fine. I was diagnosed wrong has this happen to anyone else?!

Can you tell us more about the blood screening they did for wheat and gluten? Were these allergy tests, or was this a celiac disease blood screening? I ask this because if it was an allergy test then it would not detect celiac disease.

They did blood work for wheat and gluten and skin pricking on my back. They also did blood work for celiac and the  genetic testing. Which was all negative. But on the skin  pricking it showed a 5/6 to corn and blood work showed no on maize. Corn starch really will set my heart off racing if I eat anything with it but seem fine if I have some things in the corn family.

In your initial post here you said: "I’ve been eating wheat and gluten again for three days and been fine. I was diagnosed wrong has this happen to anyone else?!", and the subject of your post is "Not Celiac."

Were you diagnosed with celiac disease? It sounds like you were, but it's not very clear.

I was not now just everything that had gluten in it that I ate my heart would raise but everything that I ate had cornstarch in it and I was still having symptoms even going gluten-free, but I did test positive for corn allergy, which was five of six and the doctor said it wasn’t very high, but I was still showing symptoms of being  to Gluten-free my symptoms went  full-blown to corn but I can eat corn derivatives with out much trouble. Mainly corn starch and high furtose corn syrup is a huge NO

So to be clear, you were never diagnosed with celiac disease, and your blood test for celiac disease was negative.

Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

Also, feel free to share your celiac disease blood test results here if you would like to. Sometimes the actual numbers reveal more than how the doctors interpret the results to you. For example, if your results showed 19 and the cut off for celiac disease was 20, then perhaps you do have an autoimmune response to gluten. Were you eating lots of gluten daily for at least 6 weeks before the blood test for celiac disease? If not, this could lead to a false negative result.

I was not eating gluten. But was still having issues and really seems to be corn that bothers me and everything that is gluten free almost has corn. I did test positive for corn and negative for wheat.

I understand, but I just want you to understand that if they also did a test for celiac disease while you were not eating gluten, you could still have it even though your test was negative--your result could be a false-negative.

      Hello, @Itsabit, Your journey sounds very similar to mine.   I'm very concerned about your diet since you say you don't eat a lot of meat, which is the main source of B vitamins.  Nutritional deficiencies go along with Celiac Disease.  Blood tests are not accurate measurements of deficiency states.  The body robs stored vitamins from organs to circulate in the bloodstream to supply the brain and heart.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change. I have a hypersensitivity to sulfites, so much so that I had to switch my toothpaste to one that doesn't contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  SLS can cause oral irritation as a side effect, too.   My mouth would burn and I avoided certain foods.  Dapsone contains sulfites, as do antibiotics.  Treatment with sulfites can precipitate a Thiamine deficiency disorder because sulfites cut thiamine in two making it useless. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35506963/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10506142/ I have an allergy to nickel, also.  Zinc helps keep other metals in balance in the body.  Zinc is also terribly important to skin health and oral health. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11274920/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ Thiamine (Vitamin B 1) deficiency disorder symptoms and altered thiamine metabolism can occur after radiation or chemo.   Thiamine and Niacin B 3 are important in nerve conduction.  When I was very malnourished, I had paresthesia that made me feel itchy all over, and made my dermatitis herpetiformis extremely unbearable.  The form of Niacin that causes flushing, Nicotinic Acid (not the same as nicotine in cigarettes) is beneficial because the flushing helps open the small capillaries in the skin which allows the antibodies to be cleared and disposed.  Pellagra can occur in Celiac Disease.   I had it, and my doctor didn't properly diagnose it, either.   I had a rash around my neck, Casal's Necklace, along with a blistering rash on my arms and any skin exposed to the sun.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://cgp.iiarjournals.org/content/10/4/169 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11722086/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6780714/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10229844/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ You should be checked for more than just B12 deficiency.  The eight B vitamins work together, and we need more of them when we're trying to heal.  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete them if not needed. Have you had your Vitamin D level checked?  Vitamin D regulates the immune system and lowers inflammation.   I hope you can find some benefit from my experiences.  Keep us posted on your progress.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jack Common, I know how frustrating health mysteries can be. Perhaps you're having a reaction to the medication you were given for the giardiasis you mentioned in another post. The giardiasis infection would account for the high Igg results.  Have you been reinfected? The site I've linked below has lots of information about the long term consequences of being treated with a medication frequently prescribed for giardiasis infection.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-doctor-denial/ https://hormonesmatter.com/?s=metronidazole https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3870550/ Please let us know if your symptoms may be due to this reaction to the prescription for giardiasis. Best wishes.
