was wondering how other people tolerate beer. I myself seem to not have a problem with it. I was never diagnosed with celiac disease I am Gluten intolerant. The most testing I ever got done was a blood test while I was on a strict gluten free diet. I also suspect my son son ( 22 months) is also gluten intolerant and he is definitely lactose intolerant. My older brother is also gluten intolerant.

I may be wrong but wouldn't getting the blood test while following the gluten free diet give you a bad result? Or that could be the scope of the intestine. I am sure someone else can offer an opinion.

There are gluten free beers out there so you can still have beer and avoid the gluten.

Red Bridge, Bards, Greens, New Grist etc

Yes i think that being on a gluten free diet would give a false result thats why I mentioned it. Just wondering how others that are gluten intolerant/celiac tolerated beer?

Well, I can only comment from a celiac disease perspective. If you have celiac disease you can't have mainstream beer so I don't think you will get many replys.

I admit I don't know if gluten intolerant means you can have it occasionally. If that is that case then maybe someone will reposnd.

Beer definitely has gluten in it; if you are trying to be strictly gluten-free you should switch to a gluten-free formulated one like Redbridge, or New Grist or Green's or Bard's. Or Wine or some other drink. Even if you don't react to something, it may be doing damage.

      Help Understanding Test Results

      By trents · Posted

      Scott, am I missing something? For the TTG-IGA normal is anything 3 or less and his score less than 2. I think that one is in normal range. @Brown42186, if the GI doc is not interested in doing an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining based on the elevated TTG-IGG I would request a repeat on the bloodwork now that you have resumed gluten consumption again.

      Interesting for sure. Have you heard of potential cross reactivity to casein (dairy), corn, milket, iats, rice, and yeast?

      Thanks for all the info! I'll see how my appointment next week goes. I think I'm going to push for having a blood test done again since I've been consistently eating gluten and go from there.

      At the very least this seems like it could be non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. If you want a formal diagnosis the next step would likely be an endoscopy, but again, this would reveal whether or not you have celiac disease, but you still could have NCGS.

      Your recent test results show an interesting pattern that may warrant further investigation. While your deamidated gliadin Abs, IgA result is within the normal range (0.9, labeled as "not detected"), your deamidated gliadin Abs, IgG is significantly elevated at 26.6, which is above the normal threshold of <15.0. This discrepancy could suggest a few possibilities. Since you've been gluten-free for years, the elevated IgG levels might indicate occasional or inadvertent gluten exposure, as IgG antibodies can remain elevated longer than IgA. Alternatively, it could point to a lingering immune response from prior gluten consumption, even if you’ve been strictly gluten-free. However, it’s also important to consider that elevated IgG alone, without corresponding IgA elevation or other markers like tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies, may not definitively indicate active celiac disease. I would recommend discussing these results with your healthcare provider, who may suggest further testing or a review of your diet to ensure complete gluten avoidance and rule out other potential causes for the elevated IgG levels. If you eat outside your home, especially at restaurants--even those with gluten-free items or menus--it's probable that you are getting some contamination.
