Does "positive Blood Work" Mean Any Of The Blood Tests For Celiac?

I see the phrase positive blood work used a lot and I'm not real informed about the blood work. I know there are new test out now since I had mine done. 6 years ago my GI did a blood test on me for what he said were the 4 antigens for celiac disease. 2 of the "less specific," ones came back as positive. He said that even though they were the less specific ones, it warranted a biopsy. Okay, here is my question. Would this be considered "positive bloodwork?" The way others are using it on the board?

Yep, that's what we mean! You had blood tests that showed a positive response.

:) Thank you, I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I wasn't sure if a positive meant one thing with a certain type of blood work or if it meant any bloodwork for celiac.

I need to call my doctor's office and find out the specific names of them. All I remember him saying was that there were 4 things measured for celiac and that I was positive for the 2 that are less specific (whichever those are?)

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.

      Is Gliadin X recommended/safe for accidental glutening or where there is a risk of cross contamination? Or is there any other recommendation in such case? We travel alot to meet family and dine out as well. There is always risk of accidental glutening and cross contamination. Thanks.
