Help Intrepretating Blood Test Results

hello,

I have know am gluten intolerant for awhile, but only recently got own copy of results. anyways, i was wondering if any of you could give me any insight about these? i was already gluten-free when i had the tests taken but the dr. said those would not alter the results, and that i am gluten intolerant and not celiac. I kind of doubt the part about being gluten-free not altering the test results.

thanks,

Sara

an elevated Ttg indicates celiac disease----what kind of doctor did you see?

I had been seeing a former medical dr that also does herbs, but i think he's more conservative than the naturopathic i see now...

The blood test sheet i have says (if I'm reading it right, that greater than an 8 ttg means postive, but I wasn't sure that I was reading it correctly. So do you think I could classify myself as celiac? I realize that practically it makes no difference, and I've been as gluten-free as I would be they had told me I had celiac. Still, it seems like celiac can sometimes indicate more damage so I'd just like to know.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
