i can't find anything that says what is normal. i am going in there tomorrow to get a copy of the blood work so that i can visually see it and make some sense of what she was trying to say. can somebody tell me what these numbers mean in a less rude way than the nurse :) thanks!

If that was all they did that was far from a full panel. The IGA looks like your total IGA...but they didn't do an antigliadin IGA or the DGPs. It is good your getting copies of your results. Do post the results when you get them. There are lots of folks who are good with the test info who will be better able to help you then.

thank you! i thought the same thing but when i tried to ask her about that she was very rude and cut me off. told me that i would need to talk to my doc if i wanted any further tests ran. i am so antsy and wish i could just have my results infront of me right now! i have to wait till tomorrow though lol

Get a hard copy of the test results so you can see the scale the numbers were on that the lab was using, the name of the lab, full name of the tests, etc- yes, sometimes people on the phone are so in a hurry they will actually omit the full information..

Sigh. What a piece of work. Typical. <_<

Alas if you want or need more blood testing, you need to keep ingesting gluten.

      How are you doing, @sadiec123?  Did you get through the holidays alright?    Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Many newly diagnosed Celiacs  are low in Vitamin D and many of the B vitamins like thiamine.  Thiamin insufficiency can cause weight loss and loss of appetite (anorexia) as well as affect mood.   Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and improve mood.

      I agree, @Sarah Marie, it's best to keep eating gluten and get on the doctor's cancellation list.  Some people have extreme symptoms when reintroducing gluten after a brief abstinence.  Be sure she consumes six slices of bread or gluten-y equivalent a day in the two weeks prior to the endoscopy.  There are different amounts of gluten in different products.  Chewy pizza crust and artisan breads have more gluten than cookies and cakes. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Those are links to articles on this site.  I don't do Instagram either. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/cross-reactivity-between-anti-gliadin-antibodies-and-proteins-in-spices-may-trigger-symptoms-in-some-people-with-celiac-disease-r5900/ And  https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/beyond-gluten-exploring-lesser-known-triggers-and-cross-reactivities-for-celiac-patients-r6350/

      Wow! That's really good information. I have noticed that my Celiac symptoms are ever increasingly seeming like allergy symptoms as well. Stuffed up head, horse throat post navel drip symptoms. I'm afraid I'm not sure I understand how to follow the links you sent for the expanded version of non-histamine diet? Are those Instagram addresses? Because I don't do Instagram. Thank you so much for that reply. To my knowledge, I'm okay on all of those things. Although I don't think that I've been tested for zinc. I do know when the flu's going around I try taking zinc mixed with quercetin but that seems to put my autoimmune into overdrive. As does some of these over-the-counter things which are recommended for traveling. To boost the immune to prevent sickness. Also things like echinacea and elderberry which you would think would be innocuous

      Canker sores can be more frequent if deficient in zinc, Thiamin B1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B6, Cobalamine B12, Folate B9, iron and Vitamin D.   Following a low histamine paleo diet helps heal.  Mast cells in our body make histamine and release it as a part of the inflammation process.  Foods that contain high histamine levels can make inflammation worse.  Mast cells get "itchy triggers" and can release histamine when exposed to some spices and foods.  The vitamins listed above are also required to clear histamine along with Vitamin C.  Following a low histamine diet like @Mari and @Blue Roanand keeping a food journal like @Blue Roan does are excellent ways to travel on our Celiac journey.
