Thank you. I will have a look at that. I have had an Iga test and my results were as follows: IGA Immunoglobulin A level 3.06 g/L [0.8 - 2.8]; Above high reference limit. So I dont have a deficiency! Do you know what it means to be over the reference limit? -

I think that's the test I'm waiting upon to get back! -
Some of you might remember I started having tests two months ago, was told I had celiac and then the GP changed their mind and said she read the wrong test results. At my next appointment I pushed for more tests because I was feeling rubbish all the time still. Within the last week I have had a HLA at the hospital which the gastro team...
-
Another thing to add - my GP said that the reason my blood tests could have been raised could have been to stress or because I had a viral infection. Admittedly at the time I was recovering from a cold - but surely that couldn't send it spiking up like that. She did say ALT is non specific to the liver and she really didn't seem concerned by the high numbers...

Let me know if you test positive/negative via biopsy because that would be really interesting. I spoke to my GP and she can't get anymore tests via NHS but she had referred me to the Gastro team. She said she will write to them and explain my elevated results and symptoms to see if they will still take a biopsy or she also said there's other tests...

Thank you! I am 5 ft 4. I know I am slightly underweight but nothing major. Never drank alcohol in my life so can't be that! I have no other autoimmune conditions and coeliac is not something that I believe is in my family. I might ask my dad's side of the family just to be sure, but as far as I'm aware theres no one. Apart from my symptoms previous to this...

Thank you so much that's really helpful. Can I skip the tests and see if my GP will go straight for a biopsy? If there's some issues with my liver surely the will have to figure out what's going on there as well? My GP is being really helpful and is really keen to work out what is going on. Also I am in the UK.

So I had my TtG-IgA results back yesterday and they were 0.66 when "normal" < 3. Feeling slightly frustated because there feels like there's so much wrong with my body and no answers. My ALT is still extremely high and so was my iga (which I believe is less of an issue) is there any chance I have a false negative? I think I ate enough gluten in the six...
-
That helps me understand so much more and makes me worry alot less than you so much. So would you suggest from the results I've got so far (and my symptoms) it's likely that my next blood test will come back raised?
-
So I posted yesterday about being told I was likely to have celiac disease. Since then my GP has rung me and told me that she's got it wrong and that my TTG results are yet to come back so we are waiting on these. She apologised and said that she read it quickly and saw some abnormality and assumed it was all back. I do however have this back...
-
I had a text from my GP saying that my blood tests showed concerns over celiac after having multiple symptoms and being tested. She said she'd call me tomorrow, I am feeling so overwhelmed. Not sure the point of this, but just looking for some support. I don't know anyone that's celiac and I know very little about it.
-
Thank you for correcting me 😊 I'm just feeling a bit miserable about it all at the moment and just want to start feeling better asap.
-
Hi yes, my test is next week I'll make sure to keep eating gluten. I assume I'm eating enough gluten? I eat exactly how I would prior to symptoms (apart from maybe the odd gluten free cereal bar or something) but I'd say I eat atleast two meals containing gluten a day. I live in a home where being celiac would be easier to explain and therefore...

Hi, I'm new to all of this but have been having symptoms of celiac. I am in my early twenties. My GP referred me for a blood test. My biggest symptoms are stomach pain, severe itching/ eczema, headaches, extreme fatigue and muscle ache (some days it's hard to even move), feeling just generally depressed, mood swings, tingling in hands and feet, mouth ulcers...
