Trying to figure out my probability of having celiac disease
-
update: it’s be a lot of follow-up testing and doctor appts. My EGD results showed nothing- all clear. My GI was still confused why my bloodwork was positive though and suggested I do good allergy testing. That was all clear. Then we decided to do gene testing more as a way of eliminating celiac fully. It looks like I’m negative for DQ2 and DQ8 but positive for...

Thanks, y’all! Appreciate context for all of this since I’m still so new to it. My GI said she followed protocol and did two passes through the duodenum and took multiple biopsies from different parts because things can be patchy. In addition, she took a biopsy of my stomach just because of the inflammation.

Update: I just had my endoscopy and the duodenum looked normal visually. Going to wait on pathology, but I’m assuming it isn’t celiac based on the initial findings. I’ll update after I get the pathology.

Thanks @Nikhil12 - That is what I am learning. I think I'm just getting a bit anxious and wanting to know a definitive answer. I have my endoscopy next week so should have some answers soon (hopefully). It's just super tough sitting in limbo when you've been experiencing a bunch of symptoms. I know a lot of people on here probably feel the same.

@Wheatwacked - this is all so interesting. I was only tested for vitamin d and ferritin because of the fatigue months ago (this is before I went to a gastro specialist). Ferritin was low, but still in range and the vitamin d was 15 (30 was the lowest in range point). I did the weekly 50,000 of d2 and retested and it was 13. After the biopsy in a few weeks...

The reason why I went down this path was actually due to low vitamin D. I got tested and was deficient. I went on a megadose for 12 weeks and retested it and it actually went down. My major symptom has been awful fatigue, but also constant diarrhea, and a pain in my left abdomen that comes and goes and feels like a side stitch or sometimes more stabbing....

I recently got celiac blood tests completed due to a bunch of symptoms I was having. Some came back positive, some negative. Total IgA was low ttg, IgA and dgp, IgA were Negative ttg, IgG and dgp, IgG were positive I’m getting an endoscopy, but was curious if signs are pointing to celiac. Just curious if anyone else had a...
