My Gliadin was 4, Aga Sirium was 278, and my Transglate was 3. The nurse said these are the only numbers for the celiac panel. My biopsy on my upper endecoscopy came back with an increase in something she said it was long and couldn't be pronounced for whatever that means. I have had the pill endocoscopy and will get the results for that on Monday afternoon. So these numbers look good from what she said was the normals. Any comments on anything else that should have been ran? Thanks

Since you have finished your testing you don't have to wait for the endo results to give the diet a shot. False negatives are unfortunately not uncommon in both blood and endo. It is a good idea no matter what the test results to do a trial of the gluten-free diet for a couple of months.

It would be a good idea to get a copy of the report of the endoscopy to see whatever that unpronounceable word was :)

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.
