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!

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.

      I would suggest you ask your doctor to order a "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency.

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?
