Get the full celiac panel done to see if you have been completely gluten free. For some less than 20ppm gluten isn't good enough. All of the celiac numbers should be at normal levels. The full celiac panel includes: TTG IGA TTG IGG DGP IGA DGP IGG EMA IGA Has your gastroenterologist done an endoscopy lately to see if you are all healed...

DR thinks Celiac
tessa25 replied to GreenTurtle's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The endoscopy/biopsies should give you answers. You have to keep eating gluten until all celiac testing is done. -
The full celiac panel includes: TTG IGA TTG IGG DGP IGA DGP IGG EMA IGA You have to be eating gluten daily for 12 weeks before the blood test. A positive on any one blood test should lead to a gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy /biopsies to confirm a celiac diagnosis. So far you've tested negative on DGP IGA and TTG IGA. If...

help Concerned Celiacs or misdiagnosed?
tessa25 replied to Natalia.Hillz's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
With silent celiac you have no outward symptoms, but you still have damage to your intestines. Which means you still have a significant risk of getting cancer if you don't go strict on your diet permanently. The celiac rash is called dermatitis herpetiformis. Celiac is not like an allergy where you do something bad then a few weeks later all is... -
Testing in young children

Yes, I would call the docs office and ask them to add on TTG IGG, DGP IGA , DGP IGG and EMA. -
LEG PAIN?
tessa25 replied to gluten-free BIKER CHICK's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Not sure how it works in your state, but here you can go directly to a physical therapist. I'd check to see if my hip was out (sacroiliac?). -
In your position I would have the full celiac panel done to verify that there isn't hidden gluten sneaking in somewhere. The full celiac panel includes: TTG IGA TTG IGG DGP IGA DGP IGG EMA IGA You could be sensitive to less than 20ppm gluten so a gluten free label on a product could have no meaning for you. If the test results...

Persistent gastro symptoms despite gluten-free diet

Did they retest her celiac blood tests that failed at diagnosis? They should be normal now. -

The more I'm "in," the worse it gets!
tessa25 replied to Igiveup's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I survived on mashed potato soup, vanilla ice cream, chocolate drink, multivitamin, D3, and magnesium for two years. When the doc checked my nutrient levels only my neutrophils were low (lack of meat). Neutrophils went up when I started eating some meat. Just goes to show that everybody is different. If I were you I would add in chicken and lots of cooked... -
May be the wrong diagnosis
tessa25 replied to NickM's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Everybody has ecoli in them, but you hear about people getting sick with ecoli on food all the time. It's the same thing. Everybody has some antibodies, it's when you have too many that there is a problem. -
I would see a doctor. You could have an ear infection.

Correct, those results look negative (not a doc). If you have symptoms you might want to get the rest of the tests.

What do my Gliadin results mean?
tessa25 replied to jennyf's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Those results say you don't have celiac(not a doc). You can also take the TTG IGG, DGP IGG, and EMA tests to be more complete. -

tessa25 replied to NickM's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Every lab has it's own range. If the result is higher than your labs range it's a positive. After being 100% strict gluten free for a few months you can retest at the same lab and see if the number has gone down. -
