Are These The Blood Test Results For Celiac?

I uploaded a scan of my blood results from my doctor with no explanation of what they mean. Are these the blood tests done to detect Celiac? I've had diarrhea for 35 days so I'm getting desperate for answers!

No, it looks like they were testing you for a strain of yeast that is common in Chron's Disease (Open Original Shared Link), and for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (which is different from Irritable Bowel Disease). They did not - by those tests anyway - test you for Celiac Disease.

I agree with Tiffany here, they look to have been testing you for inflammatory bowel diseases such as Chron's or Ulcerative Colitis.

My good friend had similar symptoms - she was 24 when they began all of the testing and was told it was Ulcerative Colitis. Her boyfriend has Chron's. She had Diarreah almost every time she ate, and would occasionally have blood. He , with the Chron's, has much more bleeding than she ever had with hers. They both had colonoscopies to confirm diagnosis though.

I will tell you that when all of my issues first started that I had about 6 weeks of diarreah. I was down to drinking only ensure. I went from 102 to 92 lbs. in a month and that's when they started looking into issues. The diarreah ended up stopping, and for the past 3 years I have leaned more towards constipation.

Just wanted to let you know what I did during that 6 weeks. I was down to drinking ensure to keep up with vitamins and nutrients, and at times could stomach plain white rice or applesauce. I was very nauseus with anything else probably because I was eating things my body was clearly telling me to avoid. Maybe you could try something very plain like plain grilled chicken, white rice with a little butter and salt, and a steamed veggie and see how that goes for a few days then gradually increase and expand your diet to include more things slowly. For a while after the ensure I could lonly do that combo of food until my tummy calmed down a bit.

Hope everything turns out for you!

      @Jack Common, You could do a DNA test to see if you have any of the known genes for Celiac Disease.  If you don't have any genes for celiac disease, look to another source for your health problems.  If you do have celiac disease genes and have improvement on the gluten free diet, you probably have active Celiac.  Further testing would be beneficial. Keep in mind that different gluten containing breads have different amounts of gluten.  Think thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads, and whole wheat breads for the gluten challenge.  Cookies and pastries do not contain as much gluten.   Since your blood tests were inconclusive, continuing with the gluten challenge may be needed to provoke a stronger autoimmune reaction sufficient for antibodies to get into the blood stream.

      I found out I had celiac because of eye problems. I developed an eye irritation that was sensitive to light, pressure, and red. My eye doctor said I had iritis, an inflammation of the iris. The treatment was prednisone drops. This is a common symptom related to ankylosing spondylitis, a form of arthritis that runs in my family. My doctor wanted to start me on immunosuppressants, but I refused due to side effects. I tried a few anti-inflammatory diets and found the specific carb diet helped, which led my doctor to test me for celiac, which was positive. Now I know when I get glutened because I have a flare up of my iritis. I call it my canary in a coal mine. First the eye, then the arthritis flare up begins.

      Soap, water and scrubbing won’t “kill” gluten, but it will physically remove it if done well if you also add a thorough rinse step.

      Eating out at restaurants is the single most risky environment for cross contamination.  Shared oven racks should be thoroughly cleaned after being used for cooking/baking of gluten containing foods. Better yet, purchase a second set of racks that are used only for one or the other.
