Oh my god, i was nervous earlier today, now I even worse ...

I find out my ultrasound results (FINALLY!) in 11 hours, and I'm scaredddddd/nervousssss. I want to know what that red/yellow spot I saw on the ultrasound screen was, but yet I dont??? If that makes sense?

I also need to remember everything my family doctor needs to say in the letter to the specialist (again), and to ask him if he'll refer me out of province if I feel I need to be...

I promise I'll let you know how it goes. Like I have said million times before, i dont care what the ultrasound shows, I still want to see a specialist .. ultrasound will not convince me that my problems are solved.

But stilllllll. I am so not going to sleep tonight :unsure::o:(

I don't know what area they ultrasounded but I recently had ultrasounds done on both my heart and my abdomin. I had normal results but like you I saw some red and yellow on the screen both times. I know it can be disconcerting to see but try not to worry about it. Sometimes they use colors to show different things. For example on my heart scan they used a green color to show the flow into my heart and a red for the outflow. Sometimes a tech will answer questions. Mine told me what the colors were when I asked but naturally didn't say what the doctors interpretation would be. In addition if they do find something thats real wrong they will often call a doctor into the room right then. Try to relax and I hope everything goes well.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
