Hi everyone, Im Lynne, new here but not to celiac disease or dh. Ive got refractory sprue, question of collagenous sprue. I saw a new dr. today and am having a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy Mon morning along with a MAC but I cant remember what thats for. Ive been gluten-free for over 5 years now and make own flours and have a really limited diet due to other food allergies and intolerances but keep getting sick, every 20 minutes running to the bathroom, really hard to take care of my gang of 6 kids here especially homeschooling. I will share another time if anyones interested, about health problems the youngest one went through due to me not getting diagnosed til after she was born. Theyve got celiac disease and lots of food allergies too, fun cooking in this household! I look forward to exchanging info and encouragement with others. I love taking a favorite recipe and making it safe for us all! I can make pizelles (Italian lace cookies) and make them gluten,dairy, egg free and they taste really good too. Take care everyone. Lynne

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Rejoicephd, I found the Autoimmune Protocol diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) extremely helpful in getting my health back.  The AIP diet is very strict, removing any possibly irritating foods and allowing time for the digestive tract to heal, then other foods are added back in with less risk of reaction.   Keep us posted on your progress!
