Greetings,

I am desperately looking for some answers and what to expect before I go to the Gastro...AGAIN!

Here is the scoop...I am 30 have had Hasimotos tyroiosis for 17 years. I am on a pretty high dose for that. I have had my gall bladder out a few years ago for luctioning reasons (or lack there of) I had a test done to confirm that before surgery. I have had peptic ulcers and sonstant stomach issues. After a second trip to the ER I went to my primary care Dr. and after giving her an updated family history..(once case of celiacs...thyroid issues, diabities and both of my grandparents dying from intestinal related diseases) she ran the test for Celiacs. Here are the outcomes..

tTg, IGA 47

Gliadin IGA 43

Gliadin IGG 13

She told me that It is probably celiacs but to keep the appt that was already scheduled with the GI for more tests to confirm. I have already had an endoscopy from the GB surgery so I am not freaked about that. I just want to be prepared as to what the chances are or celiacs and if the numbers are not high? Does anyone know if it can be something else.

Hi there! Welcome to the board!

In order to know if your blood levels are high, we need to know the normal ranges for that specific lab. Either way though, from what I've seen on this board in the past, the numbers you have seem pretty high. Your doctor is right in saying that it is probably Celiacs, and is also right in sending you to a GI for an endoscopy. Usually though, bloodwork (when positive) is very conclusive. You will be able to know the extent of the damage you have with a scope, but other than that I'd say you've found out what your problem is. Along with your family history and existing symptoms and other conditions, I think others would agree that Celiac fits.

I know it can be scary and intimidating at first, but you've come to the right place to learn everything you need to know! Ask, ask away!

Good luck and hope you start feeling better soon!

      Food Tasting Salty

      By Mnofsinger · Posted

      Those are great points and some follow up thoughts and ideas. I think you're both stating the same thing in two different ways, but I appreciate the "accuracy" of what you're getting to.   1. Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If that is the case, wouldn't the individuals mouth always be salty during a "Glutening" situation, or are we saying that the person could get "use to the flavor" until introducing food or beverage and that could be enough to "stir the pot" and notice the salty flavor? 2. To push back on "#1": If that were true anyone with issues of histamine releasing foods/treatments would experience the same thing. Also, I did not experience a situation where most beverages were "too salty". Thoughts?

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By trents · Posted

      The only vegetable sources of B12 are some fermented bean products using a certain microbiotic culture. It is next to impossible to get adequate B12 from vegetable sources without supplementation. Same with D3. Some mushrooms can make D3 when exposed to UV light. Are you vegetarian or vegan? Do you do dairy and eggs or no animal products at all? Low B12 and D3 could definitely cause or contribute to many of the symptoms you have been experiencing but would not cause celiac disease. It is more likely the other way around, especially if you are a vegetarian eating no animal products. Many of your symptoms seem neurological in nature. It is well known that the B vitamin complex is vital to neurological health but so is D3. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9820561/

      Grain fed cow milk vs 100% Grass fed cow milk

      Russ, can you link an article supporting your assertion that small amounts of gliadin are detectable in human breast milk? Not doubting you but it would be nice to have the whole text for reference.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.
