Igm ? I Don't Know Where To Go From Here.

I know it's complicated, but is IgM related to Celiac, or is it just IgG and IgA? Been looking through my labs 5 years ago, & my IgM looks to be of specific interest & they didn't test IgG, but I don't know what it means. It was an ELISA test but was performed on kidney cells, I guess.

I'm starting to think that maybe I am Celiac - not that it makes any difference in my life at this point, except to satisfy my curiosity. I'm seriously thinking about gene testing, despite the fact that I've been opposed to it in the past. The curiosity is killing me. I definitely am intolerant or something. Now I just want some answers. By the time I found out about Celiac, I had already been gluten-free for a month.

I'm starting to accept this, but nobody around me really gets what it's like (except my husband - he has to live me). I think I'm probably driving the poor guy crazy, even though he's been sooooo supportive. I just feel really alone in this all of the sudden. Maybe I need to hook up with a support group here. :(

I've been gluten-free for almost a year and have spent the better part of that time trying to convince myself that it's not real & that maybe it'll go away - my posts don't really reflect the denial, because I think deep down, I really knew. That's not working anymore. I've finally reached the point of acceptance, considering the many things I have going on that people with Celiac do. I kept thinking that maybe I was wrong - maybe it's coincidence that I feel bad and get heart issues, etc. when I eat wheat stuff. It's not.

I know nothing about IGm but have seen it on many websites i have looked at today. I didnt read them tho. I just wanted to tell you that most times if we feel it is true with this disease then it is true. Maybe post the Igm and i can help you look it up.

I think I might be wrong about the ELISA thing. I think that was for HEP C (neg). These lab results are crazy hard to figure out if you're not in the biz.

Test was done under Immunoflourescence Microscopy - whatever that is :huh: on glomeruli (kidney membrane cells). Nevermind . This is a bother. It just says 2+ staining & I don't think anybody here can tell me what that means.

I really appreciate that you want to help, Paula, but I think I'd be wasting your time. I just need to take a deep breath and chill out.

      In your whole posts the red flag raised is “villous atrophy,” this is serious as it is the villi that holds the nutrients until they are absorbed into the cells of the body… the focus should be on healing of the villi while maintaining gluten free diet. I’m sure there is a Dr’s and Specialist section on this forum that can assist you with more information.    In our Prayers with GOD for you and your daughter. LORD GOD send YOUR Holy Angels to Protect and Provide for Your children and All those involved and affected by All they are enduring, that All their Spiritual and temporal needs are met according to THY Most Perfect and HOLY will O LORD 🙏😇

      You can add Axonal Peripheral Neuropathy, Bone and Joints degeneration, Cataracts, Hypothyroidism, Gluten Bumps for those of us with dermatitis herpetiformis, and Malabsorption which contributes to so many other complications. Sadly though, other than gluten bumps all the aforementioned and many other autoimmune diseases, eventually, can and will take its toll on the body, even while maintaining 100% gluten free. Coeliac, just like all Autoimmune Diseases beget autoimmune diseases. It’s in the cards, and inevitable, just a matter of time when. I’m living Proof!

      The oat protein, avenin, is not gluten. It is similar to gluten, however, and similar enough to cause a gluten-like reaction in some celiacs.

      What is the correlation in taking supplemental Magnesium with D?  I can attest to Dr. McCarthy when it comes to influenza. In all 7 full years that I took extremely high weekly dose D2 50K only once did I become ill with flu like symptoms. At the time I became ill I was sharing residence with a sibling, 3 children, and 1 additional adult - a full house that was almost daily trafficked by other children and adults. Total 7 years, other than contracting Covid twice at 22 months apart, when it comes to flu illness I was practically immune.

      I have taken D2 50K oral capsules once weekly for 7 years consecutively due to a dangerously low deficiency level of 17. It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the 7 consecutive years of D2 50K which gradually increased my D levels to 60s & 70s is causing current labs of high TSH, even though for at least the last 4 months I have reduced my D2 50K intake to half dosage, every other week vs. weekly?
