Not sure if I have just been out of school for too long but I cannot figure out the results below for my tests. Of course they were sent on Friday night via e-mail when I can't talk to the doctor all weekend. Can someone let me know if I have tested positive or negative for Celiac? I of course will check in on Monday with my doctor but I don't know how to take this information. Thanks!

I believe that it is saying that less than 0.9 is the normal range. If so, those are both strongly positive.

psawyer, you are correct. Those are both positive results. What that means is that you have both IgA and IgG antibodies (antibodies of both the blood and mucosal surfaces) that against the tissue transglutaminase. This is a great test for Celiac disease, and it is positive.

Thank you both, that is what I suspected and what a relief! The answer to so many weird health issues, I am not crazy! Will miss many things but my health is so much more important than a sourdough roll.

      Very helpful. Oh yes, I am quite fastidious about not falling off the diet. It's just that the list of things I must add to the restrictions seems to grow.

      Chronic duodenitis and gastritis post diagnose

      By Barcino · Posted

      I know this post is old but was wondering if you ever resolved this. My son is in the same situation. Villi healed but gastritis / duodenitis remain and calprotectin elevated. Now testing for crohns which I am freaking out about.

      I did a little research and one kind of aphthous ulcer (aka, canker sore) is the Herpetiform canker sore. It is well-known that celiac disease can cause a skin rash known as herpetiformis dermatitis. I can't help but wonder if there is a connection. Celiac disease is also listed in this article as a cause for canker sores: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/canker-sore/symptoms-causes/syc-20370615 Are you observing a strict gluten free diet? You might also look into reducing iodine consumption as that is known to help with herpetiformis dermatitis. Perhaps it will help with your canker sores as well.

      Coping with celiac

      Do you wear an M-95 mask left over from the pandemic when you handle flour? Do you eat out in restaurants? Do you take vitamins?
