I Just Ate A Cookie

MY dr's nurse called tonight because I have been waiting for my results. Well she said my IGA for gluten was negative and Endomesio was negative. So from what she understands I do not have celiac. My dr is out until Friday...I was just frustrated and trying to bake cookies for my kids bake sale and I ate one...I feel really guilty now, because I haven't had gluten in 13 days...I even spent all day making gluten free beef stew and gluten-free biscuits and then I threw it all away with a Cookie....I am so confused, maybe there is something totally different wrong with me...I guess I will see how I feel tonight! Thanks for listening...

False negatives are far from uncommon. More important is if the diet helps with your issues. Don't sweat the one cookie but be aware it may be a day or two before you feel the effects. You may want to stick with the diet for a couple months, strictly and then do a challenge where you eat gluten 2 or 3 times a day for a week and see if you react. Sometimes our bodies can tell us what the tests cannot.

iga for what tho? Tissue Transglutamase? or Anti-gliadin?

also if you're Iga deficient- they would need to test for Igg

and yes- false positives are common- about 20%... esp. if you're iga deficient or if you havent been eating enough gluten prior to testing.

my ttg iga was VERY LOW.. and my antigliadin was negative.

there's a lot more to this puzzle than a blood test- i hope you can find some answers- and if all else fails- listen to your body- like many on here have.

good luck :)

Did you mean 'false negatives are common-'? False positives are virtually unheard of.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
