The Fireworks Are Still Flying

onedesperatelady may need a new name.  Getting giddy usually  happens right before my next dive.  Dive after dive has come to me since I began my hardest battle with mostly untreated celiac 6 years ago.  By battling I mean spending much effort to help my body work right, my plight with celiac began at least three decades ago.  Before it ended,  I even stopped eating all sweets and chocolate!  That's very un-American.

 

This time, I have cause to rejoice.  I feel better.  I jumped out of bed this morning with no alarm and before 6 am, because I wanted to get up!  My bedtime, throughout the battle has been 10 pm, but lately I experienced nights in which I wasn't tired yet.  In recent days, I spent hours in the garden and then began to ponder what to do with the rest of my day.  In past years I would drop on the couch with devastated energy.

 

Recently, my husband told me that things have been going better the last 9 months.  He perceives that I do have a problem with gluten, and it is getting healed up.

 

A few weeks back I did my second nutrient level tests.  Just yesterday, I heard the results.  My vitamin B levels, which had been low last November, sky rocketed.  Well, they were a little high.  My iron levels had recovered after a dip a couple of months back.  Other nutrient levels had come up to normal, except folatin and vitamin D.  This is the very first objective proof of my recovery since going gluten free, and I am very excited.

 

I would insert fireworks here, but I don't know hot to do it **.  Well, that is the best I can do.

 

I hope for all of you that you will have a day like this in which, you feel as if you conquered, and go on living an energetic life.  Have some flowers *** and get well!

Since I don't know how to do fireworks either I thought I would 'blow up' smiley faces. (Well I tried to anyway but I guess there are only so many the board will allow us to post. <_< )

That's great news and thanks for posting it.

News like yours gives newbies hope.

Always nice to remind those starting out that although the road can be long and difficult and at times seem impossible if they read some of these other threads, there is hope and healing.

      Welcome to the celaic.com community, @anya22! It is possible that the positive tTG-IGA result is being caused by something besides celiac disease but it is not likely, especially in view of your symptoms. By the way, you are confusing the terms "negative" and "positive" as they are used in medical testing. "Negative" means the test resulted in no evidence of disease. "Positive" means the test result found evidence of disease. So, your tTG-IGA result was positive and the endomysial  (aka, EMA) was negative. And, by the way, it is not unusual for to get mixed results like that. You can have celiac disease and still find that not all the various tests will show positive results. Many diagnostic protocols work that way. Think about it. If this were not so, why would they have a need for more than one kind of test? I'll include an article outlining the various antibody tests available to diagnose celiac disease. But let me ask you, have you or had you been experimenting with a reduced gluten diet prior to the testing?

      Hi, last year i tested for celiac  my Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev was 20.3 U/ml but my Endomysial antibody IgA level was negative. I again tested just recently because i have symptoms of fatigue, bloating etc and my Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev was 26.5 but i again tested negative for my Endomysial antibody IgA level  I have now been referred so are waiting for an appointment where i suppose they’ll do a biopsy? Wanted to know could this mean i have coeliac, because its only ‘weakly’ negative considering the range is 0.0-14.9 or could it be something else

      Yeah I can increase the amount to 500mg/day and see what happens. I know I haven't been consistent enough in supplementing vitamins.

      Not yet, been waisting time on western doctors. I went yesterday to my pcp thought we were on same page, I gave him the downplayed confirmed celiac medical note from bay area. As a patient I shouldn't have to Chase my medical, my medical SHOULD stick to us.Im am so exhausted and angery how medical has been, my whole way of thinking of our system is completely changed.i wish I can upload my letter from KB
