Oops, forgot to green light the reply notification bar. Guess you have to post again to do that? Got it now.

I'm 48, have had a lifetime of health problems, a long list of diagnoses (including degenerative osteoarthritis, early osteoporosis including a broken hip at age 26, fibromyalgia (if that's real), hashimoto's thyroiditis, thyroid nodules - 1 of them over 1" large and recently biopsied and genetic tested with a result of 40% chance of cancer - , years of severe...

Did you see this post or just the last copy/paste post? I'm asking legitimate questions, not ruling anything out. I'm also looking for SUPPORT, not attitude. Thanks Karen. Interesting. I'm a little confused by the article. It sounds like it is saying that stool testing brought on a high rate of false negatives in celiac children. I'm not seeing where...

Thanks Karen. Interesting. I'm a little confused by the article. It sounds like it is saying that stool testing brought on a high rate of false negatives in celiac children. I'm not seeing where it indicates false positives for anti-gliadin IgA in stool. I'm wondering if the difference is in the mechanism of gluten sensitivity or intolerance versus celiac...

Hi After posting here May of 2009 the results of my seemingly negative celiac panel test, I've continued to suffer and go downhill with my health. Suspecting gluten despite the blood test results, I did some research on additional testing and found EnteroLab. I ordered the stool test and just got the results yesterday. Normal is less than 10 units, my...

Hi, thanks for replying. I had to go back and find my original post on this site where someone told me what tests to ask for. The celiac panel? They were: 1.Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG 2.Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA 3.Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA 4.Total IgA level. These are the tests that were...

Hi - I was surprised to get only one reply to this. Can someone who understands this bloodwork please tell me if it rules out celiac? Or let me know if the low IGG is something to be concerned about? Thanks ...

Hi everyone, A few weeks ago I asked my GYN to order the celiac bloodwork that someone here recommended. I just received a fax of the results, which are hard to read but here's what I have: IGG - 99.00 (normal 649-1634) (does this mean I have an immune system disorder?) IGA - 187.0 (normal 73-358) IGM - 165.0 (normal 53-251) Hemolysis Index ...

With your low body temp have you looked into thyroid problems?

With your low body temp have you looked into thyroid problems?

Are these signs of celiac also?

Hi, I am awaiting results of blood tests for celiac, and wondering how common is it for someone to have celiac without any of the typical gastro symptoms. I have thyroid issues, anemia issues, depression, memory and brain fog issues, fatigue, joint and muscle pain (etc. long list). However, do NOT have diarrhea, gas, bloating, stomach pain, digestive...

Thanks Tiffany! I didn't know that low iron can cause itchy legs. I have iron-deficiency anemia, so that explains it.

Just curious, are intensely itchy legs (not related to any dry skin or rashes, but seemingly arising from nerves inside the legs) a symptoms of celiac?
