Are These The Blood Test Results For Celiac?

I uploaded a scan of my blood results from my doctor with no explanation of what they mean. Are these the blood tests done to detect Celiac? I've had diarrhea for 35 days so I'm getting desperate for answers!

No, it looks like they were testing you for a strain of yeast that is common in Chron's Disease (Open Original Shared Link), and for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (which is different from Irritable Bowel Disease). They did not - by those tests anyway - test you for Celiac Disease.

I agree with Tiffany here, they look to have been testing you for inflammatory bowel diseases such as Chron's or Ulcerative Colitis.

My good friend had similar symptoms - she was 24 when they began all of the testing and was told it was Ulcerative Colitis. Her boyfriend has Chron's. She had Diarreah almost every time she ate, and would occasionally have blood. He , with the Chron's, has much more bleeding than she ever had with hers. They both had colonoscopies to confirm diagnosis though.

I will tell you that when all of my issues first started that I had about 6 weeks of diarreah. I was down to drinking only ensure. I went from 102 to 92 lbs. in a month and that's when they started looking into issues. The diarreah ended up stopping, and for the past 3 years I have leaned more towards constipation.

Just wanted to let you know what I did during that 6 weeks. I was down to drinking ensure to keep up with vitamins and nutrients, and at times could stomach plain white rice or applesauce. I was very nauseus with anything else probably because I was eating things my body was clearly telling me to avoid. Maybe you could try something very plain like plain grilled chicken, white rice with a little butter and salt, and a steamed veggie and see how that goes for a few days then gradually increase and expand your diet to include more things slowly. For a while after the ensure I could lonly do that combo of food until my tummy calmed down a bit.

Hope everything turns out for you!

      Eating out at restaurants is the single most risky environment for cross contamination.  Shared oven racks should be thoroughly cleaned after being used for cooking/baking of gluten containing foods. Better yet, purchase a second set of racks that are used only for one or the other.

      This is an expanding question on this topic, I’m not sure where to put it…. I get mixed answers on this but sense I’m Coeliac and my husband isn’t we do still use the same kitchen and cooking utensils-for the most part. I was told by dietitians and GI dr that only soap and water will “kill” the gluten. I am still so confused about this topic, even after being gluten-free for 3 years. I’m sure I’ve accidentally gotten cross contamination, but haven’t knowingly put anything with gluten in my mouth! I probably get more contamination from eating out than in our “shared kitchen”. I make all my bread in a gluten-free bread machine, and he generally uses a toaster oven to heat up gluten containing items. I bake both regular and gluten-free items in our oven, (Not at the same time). I’m constantly wiping down counters and cabinets with soap and water. I keep gluten-free items in a separate cabinet. I don’t seem to be super sensitive to gluten. I was confirmed by blood and on colonoscopy about 15 years ago, but continued eating Gluten not really knowing the damage I was doing to my body.  Can anything besides soap and water “kill” gluten? How hot would an oven have to be before killing it? So any kind of soap and any temp of water omit the gluten? That makes no sense to me if a 500 degree pizza oven won’t kill it. How can a dab of soap and lukewarm water do what heat can’t do?   thank you for putting this where it needs to be if this is the wrong spot!  sincerely needing advice, Brandy J

      I would say the tTG-IGA would be sufficient.

      I think I don't have any symptoms now. I have some fogginess but I'm not sure whether it's gluten. I think the gut related problems I described above were caused because I had giardiasis. It was treated and now I feel much better. However I started a gluten free diet after the parasite treatment so it's a bit unclear what was the reason. I'm going to repeat the tests after 2 months from now eating gluten to be sure it was giardiasis. Is it enough to do just "Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA" and "The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody"? Because my Immunoglobulin A result is normal IgG tests are not necessary if I understand it right. By the way, Merry Christmas!
