Six Month Bloodwork Results

My son had his bloodwork done last week, six months after his celiac dx. I am thrilled with the results!

IgA: Jan = 62.8 June = 1.3 (Norm 0.0-10.0)

IgG: Jan = 74.2 June = 6.1 (Norm 0.0-10.0)

tTG IgA Jan = >100 June = 8!!!! (Norm 0.0-0.3)

tTG IgA Jan = 58 June = 14 (Negative <9)

I can't believe his antibiodies that were >100 are now 8!!! 5 more to go and we are within normal levels. I am so incredibly relieved. I feel like a stone wall has been taken off of my shoulders. The never knowing if I'm doing all I can to help my son heal, constant questioning/doubting, etc. WE ARE WINNING! Who knows what another six months will do....hopefully put at least 5lbs and 4 inches on him!! I just wanted to share that it works, it really works and I am so happy that my son is healing. It is empowering to say the least. :D

      Testing for celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      Testing for celiac

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
