Thank you! I've managed to get a referral to a Gastroenterologist so we'll see what they think. It seems unlikely to be Celiac. I'll just be glad to find out whatever it is and get a treatment plan figured out 🙂

This test wasn't conducted. It seems that the standard testing on the NHS in the UK is the two I had (Total IGA and tTg IGA). Is it common to have negative tTg IGA and positive tTg IgG? Angela

Hi! I eventually got my test results back... seems I'm not Celiac. Total Immunoglobin A (IgA) - 1.30 with a range of 0.65 - 4.21 tTg (IgA) - 0.2 (I was informed that <4 is negative) They are now testing me for H Pylori as I have a ferritin level of 13 and getting weaker by the day (even on Ferrous Fumarate).

Hmmm… that’s interesting. I guess I will just have to hang tight and see what happens next. I’d hope that they will contact me should any other results arrive. Really appreciate your help, it’s hard finding information relating to UK testing… and even harder trying to understand the information I have found 😁

Called the surgery today and was advised by the receptionist ‘not celiac’ however that was her reading from a note left by a nurse with no further info. I asked if she had any figures for me, the types of test done and the ranges and she advised ‘I wouldn’t know’. I’ve since requested a print out of everything and they said it would ta...

Question regarding Blood Testing in UK

Thank you!! I suspect the same! Will give the doctors a call today to find out what's going on. Will report back! Angela :-)

Hi Cristiana, Thank you for this ☺️ Yes, it’s my understanding that those are the normal ranges. What I’m mostly confused about is that she described 1.30 as my immunoglobin result. I don’t understand if that means my total immunoglobin or if that’s my tTG result. It’s so confusing and no one seems to want to get in touch to clar...

Hi everyone! I have a quick question regarding celiac blood testing in the UK. Can someone tell me the difference between the following tests: Total immunoglobulin A (IgA) IgA Tissue transglutaminase antibody (shortened to tTG) I have only been given one result from my doctors surgery, it was simply read out...

Low Ferritin

Could be! I believe the pain tends to be in the heel with Plantar Fasciitis, my pain in on the outside of my right foot, at the side rather than the heel. But who knows. -
Low Ferritin

Hi Trents, I’m not taking any supplements except Ferrous Fumarate. My Ferritin levels were low so they put we on these. With regards to my B12 and Folate, these results came from separate testing last week. Angela -
Low Ferritin
Angela1287 replied to Angela1287's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for replying 😊 I’m from the UK. The doctor I’ve been seeing advised me that my Ferritin Level of 13.7 is Low-Normal. I didn’t even think to ask about the ranges. Today I received results of my B12 and Folate levels. Folate seems to be completely normal at 11, with a range of 3-20. My B12 is also classed as norma... -
Hi everyone, I’m currently awaiting my blood test results for celiac. I’ve read quite a lot of posts on this forum relating to various deficiencies, however I wonder if it’s at all common to have low ferritin without other deficiencies and still a positive celiac result. My ferritin level is 13.7. I’ve always had tummy problems, ranging from wh...
