OK well I havent had this symptom of Celiac is quite a while now, but I am assuming the contamination, etc from harvesting is causing my allergies/Celiac to flair up...

But...I just typed out notes for homework until 4:30 am, it is now 5:15 am and guess what: still wide awake!!

What do you guys do to help this situations like this??? :blink:

I usually toss and turn with irritation, thinking of how I have to get up at dawn with my kids, and everything I have to do that day on two hours of sleep! Argh....seriously though look into maybe an otc sleeping pill those help me sometimes.

You know, I am really having a hard time sleeping too. The last two nights have been really bad I'm okay getting to sleep, but then I wake up about 3 or 4 times, not sleeping in between. Then I have one big wide awake time from like 4:30 to 6, and I get up at 6:30. So, whats better laying there tossing and turning or just throw in the towell get up and do something? Thank god for lattes... <_<

I know TONIGHT I SHOULD sleep good...went on maybe 3 hours of sleep like I said (from 6:30 - 10 am, a lot of wake times in between)...survived school somehow from 3 - 10 pm, but then I tried to do some homework and I'm much too out of it to even find the answers in the book or understand what the questions are asking!!

      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!
