Here are the names and results of the test. What I found interesting about this is when I asked for the copy the mood changed a little. My daughters pulmonologist is wonderful but i also thisnk that she didnt quite understand thae results either. She did tell me that she questions the hight IgG# and wasnt given a very good answer except "this child does not have celiac disease" Ive never met the poor guy and i dont like his attitude.

Here they are and the lab that did the test was Labcorp ( I was surprised)

AntiGliadin IgA 1 U/mL *

AntiGliadin IgG 26 U/ mL*H

Anti-Reticulin IgA Negative titer*

Anti-Reticulin IgG Negative titer*

tTG IgA 1U/ mL*

tTG IgA 1U/ mL*

EndomyAb IgA Negative

ImmunoA, Quant 79mg/dL*

Those are it I hope somebody can help me a lil to understand what is high. I will say that my pulmonologist was very adomint about begining the diet, she really seemed eager. I think she is still leaning toward the g-tube on sept 10. So I plan on starting immediatly.

Thank you all so much for you support and help!

Do you have the ranges that the lab provided? Each lab has a slightly different normal range, and without seeing them I can't help you.

I looked up the lab and the IgG is out of the reference range. This means welcome to the club!

The positive IgG could indicate a wheat intolerance/allergy, and not Celiac.

from the FAQ on www.celiaccenter.org (Dr. Fasano is one of the leading Celiac pediatric physicians and researchers)

There is a particular series of blood tests called the

I wish I did have the ranges but that was my thoughts exactly... the fact that she is 8 years old and has CF ( meaning she has had so many test run and this is the first time that a test of any kind has come back out of the range) tells me that even a little out of range is a problem. Her sweat test for Cystic Fibrosis was not a super high number but she has progression of the disease in a rapid way. I work very hard to make sure she is getting the vitamins, fat, calories that she needs and she gets sicker and sicker that tells me that something else is wrong .Apparently to some doctors it means more meds needed well Im sick of hearing that crap and I am standing my ground. We will begin the diet and My heart tells me that she can and will get better! I will refuse to let them put that tube in untill she has been on this diet for at 3 months. And maybe longer. I really appreciate you guys!

Chriss, Please start out also dairy free & soy free... Please read up on dairy if you need to, but no one needs dairy, especially anyone that has an auto immune illness...

Stick to it & I bet you are going to see some great results, please keep us posted.

Oh & please please try to just feed whole foods & not get the gluten free goodies right away, maybe a little something for a treat... but not every meal, every day...

best for meat, seafood, veggies, fruits, nuts & eggs & maybe some white rice...

re B12, take a sublingual B12 everyday - EVEN if your levels tested okay, the "so called right level" is not high enough, just take a B12 every day - & Chrissy, that goes for your child also...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      @knitty kitty The information you've provided is invaluable! I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information. I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS...

      Vaccines

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too. I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience. They take you seriously and they check everything. I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.
