Is It Celiacs?

I recently was tested for celiacs (IGA-43 and IGG-110) and had a biopsy done that did not show any damage. My Endomysial IGA and Reticulin IGA were not detected. My doctor says I can either go on a gluten free trial or just not worry about it. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I'm not really sure what I should do.

Two positive tests is a pretty high indicator of some sort of a gluten problem -- although it might not yet be full-blown celiac. In particular, the Iga test is VERY specific. Are you convinced the biopsy was done correctly, taking a minimum of a half dozen samples (10 is even better)? Damage can be patchy and can be missed.

The biggest question is whether you have symptoms. You must, otherwise why would he test you? If you do have symptoms do you feel bad enough to go gluten-free and see if that solves your problems?

They did take 7 biopsy samples; the only reason I can think of that the biopsy results wouldn't be accurate is that I'm on some medicane for Crohns Disease (my doctor had mentioned before that some of the same meds are used to treate both). I was initially tested a few months ago after I had a Crohns flare up and became anemic very fast (which isn't as typical with Crohns). I don't have any pain after eating; although sometimes when I eat rich food like pasta or calzones I have some stomach pain (although I'm not sure if that would be Crohns or Celiac). My doctor is referring me to a nutritionist so I can have a gluten free trial (she's says for about two months, and then have my bloodwork rechecked. So i guess we'll see..........

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
