My Tests? Help?

So I have had these symptoms pretty much my whole life. I was born vomitting and my parents took me to doctors and they just said I had gas. I had blood tests for celiac in 2005 FINALLY...had an endoscopy on 1993 and they just said I had moderate fold thickening with associated spasm in the bulb and first portions of the duodenum and superficial erosive process of the mucosa. Whatever that means but no one cared. My celiac blood test says negative but my C-Reactive Protein is consistantly high whenever tested and the Platelets were listed as High according to standard ref. range. A lot of my numbers are the high end of the range and my nutritionist says it means I have a low tolerance for gluten but my GP says no big deal. Is there one particular line I should look for on my lap profile? Can you test negative for the disease but have a low tolerance instead? I am really tired of being sick all the time. Any help or advice would be great...I am concerned for my children also as they are both small for their age and have had a host of problems. Has anyone heard of acne problems from this?

THANK YOU FOR ANY ADVICE!!! I did order a saliva test and waiting for the results that is supposed to show my tolerance for gluten, soy, egg and dairy.

**I should add this my CELIAC DISEASE AB PROFILE:

Antigliadin Abs, IgA 14

Antigliadin Abs, IgG 18

t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 11

Reticulin IgA Ab Negative

Reticulin IgG Ab Negative

I have all kinds of things on here also from Hepatic Function Panel, Basic Metabolic Panel, CBC, Sedimentation Rate_Westergren of 19 etc etc

Every lab has different reference ranges for what is considered normal. Could you please post these, so we can see what your values mean? Because otherwise we really can't tell you anything from looking at those results.

I think I have figured no Oats for sure cuz I remember for two months prior to this I was eating Oatmeal almost every morning. I had Oatmeal cookies a few weeks ago and was in bed with a migraine 3 out of the 5 days. Of course as you can tell I love oatmeal. Had pizza the night before last and was in bed with a migraine yesterday and it still hurts.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      And I’m anaemic, however I’m also female and vegetarian. I had an iron trans a couple of years ago however it’s starting to dwindle and taking supplements doesn’t seem to work. I can’t seem to absorb it.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?
