The Results Are In...i Think

I just got my test results back today and I'm a little confused. It doesn't look like I was tested for all 5 of the antibodies that I've seen many of you talk about here. This is what my results look like:

ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY: <1:10; Reference range <1:10

The name of the test on the report is listed as "ANTI GLIADIN IGG IGA ANTIBODIES". Does this mean that I don't have Celiac?

Also, I don't know if this matters or not, but I got my stool tests back too and it stated that there was a moderate amount of yeast in my stool.

My next GI appointment isn't until October 19, so I was wondering if anyone out there has any input.

Thanks in advance!

Some people have yeast intolerances and/or allergies that can mimic celiac disease symptoms. I don't know what yeast in the stool means, but when I saw this, the yeast intolerance thing came to mind. I don't have this condition, but maybe someone out there does and you two can compare isses/symptoms.

Hmmm - I never really thought of that before (but then again, I would have never guessed that Celiac disease could have been a possibility either). So, does anyone know anything about the "ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY" results? Why does everyone else seem to have whole-numbered results while I have a ratio? Thanks again!

Sorry to keep rambling on, but I also noticed that on the "FECAL LEUKOCYTES" part of the test (which was part of the stool sample), it stated "FEW PMNS (0 to 2 per OIF). I don't know if that is significant or not either...

Hi i am just newly diagnosed with GI as well. Its all very confusing. I live in New Zealand and we dont get to see results as such. My doctor phoned me yesterday with my results. ive serched the net but really must be looking in the wrong place. My igG level has come back where on our scale it goes from 0-20 with 20 being bad my score was 80. My docter said she has never seen such a high score before. Does anybody have any thorts that mite help? Does it mean i probably have other intolerances as well? WOuld welcome any suggestions :)

Since you have a moderate amount of yeast in your stool you may have a yeast overgrowth. This can be treated with antifungals such as Nystatin. Overgrowth can occur when their is an upset between the balance of yeast and beneficial bacteria in the gut.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
