Follow-up Results From Ttgs

Two weeks ago DD had her first follow up appointment since being DXd Celiac in May. I never knew what her TTG levels were before, I was just told between the "elevated" TTGs and villous blunting from biopsy, she was Celiac.

I called for the results to the follow up so I could find out what her initial levels were and what they are now. It couldn't have been better news!!!

Her initial test back in May was 98.

Her test from two weeks ago was 7.6.

I'm so happy I'm practically crying--just to know in such a small amount of time what a HUGE difference has been made in her health. Of course, I can see it every day how much better she is, but to know there's some science to back it up makes me feel AWESOME.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From what I understand under 20 is considered normal so I'd SWAG at 65+ being "elevated." I'm no doctor of course but I bet there is some leeway. I could be completely wrong though... Seems like a large scale with some room for error--which would explain why some people show negative in a blood test, but still have troubles with gluten.

Congrats!! I'm hoping for similar news next month!

      ome value? Is that a typo? I don't see that on any of the test results you post and I've never heard of that one.

      Thanks for the update! It’s great that your GI is being thorough with the follow-up testing—hopefully the endoscopy will give you clearer answers. The EPI diagnosis is interesting; I’ve read that celiac can sometimes lead to pancreatic issues like EPI due to long-term malabsorption or autoimmune overlap. Have they mentioned if your EPI might improve with a gluten-free diet if celiac is confirmed? Wishing you smooth sailing with the endoscopy tomorrow—let us know how it goes.

      Hi again! I just wanted to update here that the GI redid my bloodwork and the ome value is still high so I'm having an endoscopy tomorrow. I also got diagnosed with EPI which seems to possibly be linked to celiac according to Google.

      Reishi and cordyceps are immune modulators, they stop you reacting so much/producing antibodies to lectins. Uptake is better when taken as a tincture, you can buy it pre made as a tincture, usually vodka based, or make your own which is much cheaper. You can find instructions online, basically powdered mushrooms soaked in strong alcohol for a month, shaking regularly. Then the strained mushrooms are heated gently in water for 8 hours, strained again and the water then combined with the first alcohol extract. Some of the properties are water soluble, others require alcohol for extraction. It’s also prescribed for fatigue which is a side effect I’m happy to put up with.

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. Fructose derived from corn is toxic to the liver and contributes to severe health issues. Corn syrup has mercury in it. The list can go on and on and on… Many consumers bow to the alter of “Gluten Free” packaged foods as if the label is a safety net. “Gluten Free” on the package does not mean that the food is healthy. Do not deny yourself the God given right to be healthy.
