Gluten Intolerant And Vitamins?

My blood test for Celiac was negative, but I think I still may be gluten intolerant. My question is, is it only people with Celiac disease that have issues with absorption of vitamins and minerals, or do people with gluten intolerance also have problems with absorption of vitamins and minerals? I think I understand how Celiacs have problems with it, but how would a gluten intolerant person have a problem with it?

The blood tests are only about 70% accurate. You can be celiac with negative blood tests. My guess with gluten intolerance is that the intestinal inflammation might be interfering with absorption. My mom is negative by blood and biopsy, but had a severe B12 deficiency and low D.

It's possible that the reason some people are gluten intolerant is that their digestive systems are not operating properly...due to absence of good bacteria, poor health or whatever. In that case the gluten intolerance wouldn't be causing the malabsorption--it would be a result of it.

      What might this EMA result mean?

      No other tests. This was from about 10 years ago, I noticed it when checking through my all bloods to look for patterns.  I will go back to my doctor...

      Were there any other tests besides the EMA run for celiac disease? If not, you should request them. At minimum, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA" should be ordered. A more complete celiac panel would also include the DGP-IGA, DGP-IGG and TTG-IGG. And very importantly, you should not have been reducing gluten consumption in the weeks/months leading up to the testing blood draw.

      I'm looking into it. I have several quite low vitamin results which I believe may be from malabsorption. B12, ferritin, folate, vit d all very low. Re-occuring mouth issues, gut issues.

      Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease or are you looking into it?

      Thank you. There is no reference range mentioned unfortunately.
