Hello everyone,

I have recently discovered a website and book that has help me tremendously with my anxiety. I have suffered with anxiety for about 10 years with panic attacks off and on. I have been stable when taking Zoloft but when I would try to reduce my dosage my anxiety would come back. Since I have been gluten-free my anxiety symptoms have reduced but I still struggled from time to time.

Since the forum on this site has helped me so much dealing with Celiac disease I went online to find a forum for anxiety sufferers. I found the site below.

When my anxiety started 4 years ago I was in a really bad spot. That website was my saving grace, it just all made so much sense. Every once in a while when I am going through a bad spell I go back to the website for a refresher. I also read the book and that was part of my recovery. I went gluten free in January and like you my anxiety is much better but still lingers. Hoping the longer I stay off gluten the more the anxiety will just diminish.

      I think I’ve got it ?

      Chrissyjo, here is an article outlining the various blood tests that can be used to check for celiac disease: Many physicians will only order the ttg-iga test. It is the single best blood test tool for celiac diseae and relatively inexpensive. However, it is not a good choice if a person is IGA deficient and many physicians neglect to check for that...

      I think I’ve got it ?

      I’ll have to ask my doc, I thought there was only one type of test. No Yep I will. They told me too before the test anyway

      Too early for diagnosis?

      The Immunoglobulin A is aka "total IGA" and it is not deficient at 90. Tissue Transglutaminase AB, IGA, aka "ttg-iga" is the most popular celiac antibody test run as it is inexpensive and combines excellent sensitivity with very good specificity. It is typically the first blood test tool out of the physician's diagnostic bag and the best single one in...

      Too early for diagnosis?

      I just realized we had labs from another place as well. Not sure if any of these is the "total IGA" you mentioned: Jan 2023 - TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA was 17.5 (15 considered high) Jan 2023 - Immunoglobulin A was 90 (range is 22-140)

      Too early for diagnosis?

      It's funny you say that because as I was typing about my potential issues with gluten, I thought "wait. Why haven't I gotten tested." Honestly, it comes down to money and time. We have been pouring tens of thousands into her care (We don't have traditional medical insurance). And I have been off gluten for so long and have such quick and noticeable reactions...

Tissue Transglutaminase AB, IGA, aka "ttg-iga" is the most popular celiac antibody test run as it is inexpensive and combines excellent sensitivity with very good specificity. It is typically the first blood test tool out of the physician's diagnostic bag and the best single one in the absence of IGA deficiency. When it is positive, there is only about a 5% chance that it would be due to something besides celiac disease.

We have been pouring tens of thousands into her care (We don't have traditional medical insurance). And I have been off gluten for so long and have such quick and noticeable reactions when I do consume it, that I really don't want to have to eat it again! But, you have me thinking perhaps I should.  Thanks for the information cross contamination. That is very helpful!  Thank you!
