Nicole,

The first thing to do would be to get a simple blood test, and ask for the following:

IGA

IGG

TTG

If the blood tests are positive (beware frequent false negatives), then you can start a gluten free diet. It is the only treatment for Celiac, gluten intolerance, but it works if that is your problem!

Welcome. Do ask for the tests for mentioned. Make sure you don't go gluten free until all the testing is done.

What health issues are you having other than the low blood sugar? For that if you eat small amounts frequently and make sure you eat some protein along with carbs that should help. Gluten free pretzels and some nuts and dried fruits in a bag, apple slices with some pnut butter, crackers with cheese and that sort of thing can help a lot when you feel your sugar dropping.

      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.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
