Anti -reticulin Ab

Hi

I've not yet been diagnosed with any disease in particular but I've just been tested positive for anti reticulin AB. My GP said this is present in people who have coeliac and people with systemic sclerosis. Lupus has also been suggested. The coeliac blood test I had about 8 months ago was negative and I haven't had another test yet. Until I go to see a rheumatologist I'm still pretty much in the dark. I'm on this forum hopefully to see whether or not my symptoms are similar to other people who suffer with coeliac. My main symptoms are:

1. Very loose stools (sometimes diarrhoea) very pale in colour

2. Joint pain in most joints and stiffness on waking up

3. Extreme tiredness, no energy at all

4. Lack of concentration

5. Low mood

6. Some form of dermatisis on my ears (very itchy)

7. No appetite but not losing weight!

Any thoughts on the above would be appreciated as I'm very worried since I could be suffering from one of the other diseases.

Thanks for reading, be very glad of some help.

Linda

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By trents · Posted

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!
