You're welcome, Gladgirl. 

 

When do you go in for your next MRI?

 

I also have a brain tumour in the pituitary/optic chiasm called a craniopharyngioma.  Slow growing.  At this point they don't want to operate as the symptoms are far more preferable to the excision.

Hi, Kamma,

 

My last MRI was on Nov 23,2013 showing that the tumor had totally been resected...the biopsies (5) in total I have, but would prefer to share via e-mail. My next follow-ups at the Mayo Clinic are with my neurologist, Jan 20th  for follow-up about epilepsy and other issues...and then I will be testing with Hematology and meeting with my neuro surgeon on Jan 28th.  They wanted to be sure the craniotomy had healed very well before proceeding.  Please send me an e-mail via our system here, and I would like to discuss your tumor issues as well.  Thank you so much for the help. Joanie

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      Yes, that's the one. IGA Quantitative. What is the reference range given for that one? If no reference range was given, is there another notation associated with it indicating it was either low or high or neither? If not, I would assume your score does not indicate IGA deficiency.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      The IGA tests 5 years ago were: Transglutaminase IGA (EMY IGA) (CENT-tTG), <2 Immunoglobulin A (CENT-IGA), 246 IgA Quantitative was done last month, that was 261. Is that the one you mean?

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      When you say a GI doc did an IGA five years ago and it was negative, which IGA measure do you speak of. There are several possibilities. Do you refer to the tTG-IGA? Have you had a total IGA test done? It isn't a test for celiac per se but can establish whether or not you are IGA deficient. If you are IGA deficient, it will drive individual IGA test...

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      I had several celiac blood tests done at a rheumatologist last month. I've had many possible symptoms over the last 23 years, including GERD/LPR, constipation, and recently joint stiffness and pain in my hands. It all started during my first pregnancy. 1/160 ANA back then as well as now with no autoimmune diagnosis. I've had undiagnosed high fevers, swollen...

      I just got the results from my upper endoscopy/biopsies. Would you be able to click on my recent post from tonight and let me know what you think? I really appreciate it. I want to make note that I do have Lymphocytic Colitis. Thanks for your time.

      When you say a GI doc did an IGA five years ago and it was negative, which IGA measure do you speak of. There are several possibilities. Do you refer to the tTG-IGA? Have you had a total IGA test done? It isn't a test for celiac per se but can establish whether or not you are IGA deficient. If you are IGA deficient, it will drive individual IGA test scores down and can result in false positives. The tTG-IGA should always be accompanied by a total IGA test. When people are IGA deficient and actually do have celiac disease we often see it detected by the IGG tests. The same can be said if they have been skimping on gluten previous to the blood draw and, IMO, negatives in the IGA test spectrum with positives in the IGG spectrum can also point to NCGS or NCGS transitioning to celiac.
