My Test Results

I had a celiac panel done in 2008. My gi told me it was negative, but a derm dx'd me with dh after that. I have been gluten free since the derm, so about one year and am doing great.

But I just pulled my records and am wondering about the results:

t-Transglutaminase (tTG)AB IgA <3 <r>

Endomysium Ab IgA TNP<r>

Gliadin Ab IgA 6<r>

IgA 150<r>

Transglutaminase Ab IgG TNP<r>

Endomysium Ab IgA TNP <r>

Does TNP mean that there was none found? What do the numbers mean?

This is more of an idle curiousity because you'd be hard pressed to get me to go back to eating gluten (this morning- for the first time in 4 years!- I don't have any open sores on my legs). But I am curious since my son is having the same panel done and we are hoping for the results Monday or Tuesday.

edited because I can't spell

Thanks!

Were there any other numbers on the paper? There should have been reference ranges. Usually the first numbers are the reference ranges and the second set of numbers is the reference range.

I don't know what the TNP means. I do know that not everyone with DH will show up on a celiac panel and even some folks without DH can have a false negative.

Is your son showing symptoms? If he is having rashes do get him tested for DH. If he is having other symptoms do give him a trial on the diet after you are done with testing. Children have an even higher rate of false negatives than adults.

I would assume TNP means test not performed

That was the complete lab report. The only other info is just my personal info.

My son is having a variety of systems to include rashes. He was also just dx'd with psoriasis.

Why do they not run some tests? Is it based on the results of the other tests?

Thanks!

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Jack Common · Posted

      Hello! I'm doing a gluten challenge now. I don't know how much bread to eat. There are 4-6 slices of bread a day suggested in most articles. But one slice of bread can be 25 grams or 40 grams. So when it's 25, six slices are just 150 grams. When it's 40 grams, six slices are 240 grams. The difference is huge in my opinion. Can someone recommend the dosage?

      In what way? Skinese:  You paid for it, might as well try.  They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."   Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt.  The no fat has varius ingrediEnts to mimic fats texture but some people react to the  gums used.   Sibo: Foods that do not contain carbohydrates or fiber do not usually cause problems. This includes meats (beef, pork, lamb, venison); poultry (chicken, turkey, duck); fish and shellfish; eggs; and butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Stonyfield Whole milk yogert, I think, is the only one with lactase for lactose intolerance.  Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] For your skin health you need dietary iodine intake around 500 to 1000 micrograms a day.  I take Liquid Iodine 500 mcg a day.  It is the amount I ate daily in the 1960/s before they stopped using it in bread.  Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine has decrease 50%.  50 mcg/drop in the brand I use.  The dose used to prove Wolff-Chaikoff Effect was upwards of 11 grams The USDA lists the safe range from 125 mcg to 1000 mcg (1 gram).  Japanese say 3000 mcg is safe.  Look at tradition japanese hair, skin, and their childrens intellegence.  They must be doing something more right than us.

      Antibodies went up

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Antibodies went up

      By Barcino · Posted

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.
