Hi all,

 

I know this seems like a weird question to ask but to explain. I'm currently waiting for my biopsy results back to confirm everything and my ttg levels from the blood test were high enough I've not seen anyone be close. I just want to know if mine are wildly high or if I'm not alone.

 

My ttg level is 4301 btw... no I didn't miss a decimal 😅

Welcome to the forum, @holl4088! Was this the ttg-IGA test score? Different labs uses different scales to score celiac antibody tests and different units of measurement might also be used. The tests aren't standardized so it would be helpful if you would post the range for negative vs. positive for the test used by the lab who analyzed it. There is only a very short time window for editing posts so your will likely have to provide the info in a new post.

      Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      Hello everyone , Hoping someone will have an answer for me.  I have had my celiac symptoms continue after being on a gluten-free diet. Was diagnosed in December of 2020 and followed a strict gluten free diet. I barely eat out and I am very strict. I even went dairy free for almost 2 years. I recently had and endoscopy with biopcies taken that revealed blunted villi. My celiac antibodies were also checked and they are within normal range. They were initially very high. The gastroenterologist I am seeing says I am in remission and that I don't have to worry about celiac being the cause of my symptoms.  I have read a lot about this condition and if the villi is still blunted that means I have not healed.  I have anemia that does not go away. I have tried to take B complex and vitamin D any vitamins would cause me severe severe insomnia.  So I cannot trade sleep for vitamins.  I know that is a common suggestion on this forum.  I am very confused.  Is this dr not knowledgeable? What am I missing? I thought my gut would have healed by now. I am so careful with the diet. He also mentioned I might have refractory celiac but then did not seem be worried about it. My symptoms are burning pain under the left ribcage. Fatigue and weight loss. I also eat lost of vegetables and fruits. I have lost a total of 20 pounds since I went gluten free and cannot put it back on. I was not overweight.

      Ore Ida Tater Tots Gluten

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NimaWishing, I cannot tolerate Ore Ida Tater Tots either.   Ore Ida Tots contain corn, which some Celiacs, like me, react to.  Those Tots also use Sulfites to keep the potatoes from discoloration and to promote browning.  Some Celiacs, like me, develop a Hypersensitivity to Sulfutes in foods and medications.    I buy store brand tater tots which don't contain those fancy expensive additives and they are cheaper.  No gluten free certification, but no gluten nor corn nor Sulfate ingredients either.   Hope this helps!

      Ore Ida Tater Tots Gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NimaWishing! You may already know this but the difference between "Gluten Free" and "Certified Gluten Free" is the difference between having less than 20 ppm and less than 10 ppm. "Gluten Free" is an FDA standard and "Certified Gluten Free" is a standard of the GFCO, a nongovernmental third party certifying organization recognized internationally.
