Test Results For Celiac

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I had a blood test (TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGA) and my results were 1.62<0.90- Index. The doctrs said I had Celiac, so they did a biopsy and it showed no damage. Now they say I am NOT celiac. I have been on a gluten free diet for a month. I had the blood test on gluten, the biopsy being gluten free for a month. So any suggestions where I go now? I have all the typical symptoms, bloating all the time, constapation, pain.

Thank you for any suggestions you might have for me.

Diana :)

There are almost never false positive blood tests. Your endo was negative because you were off gluten. Doctors can't believe that they don't "see" If you feel better off gluten, combined with a postive blood test, you have your answer!

Thank you for your response. I will go with your suggestion. Have a good Thanksgiving minus the "gluten"

How many biopsies did the doc take? There are 22 ft of small intestine, so it's more likely that he missed it than that you were completely healed (in one month's time). Did you start to see results with the gluten-free diet? If so, then you have your answer. While tTG is pretty specific to celiac, it can occasionally be indicative of other things, so just pay extra attention to your symptoms to make sure you are pursuing the right path of treatment.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Aussie Celiac · Posted

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
