My Mom Tested Positive!


Electra

Hello all. I don't get to come very often anymore. I'm super busy, but I just wanted to share that I finally got my Mom to be tested (a year after I was diagnosed lol) and she tested positive on the blood test.

The control number for her tissue trans was under 20 and her number was 53.3, so that makes her positive. I convinced her to see my new GI doctor who seems to be very knowledgeable in celiac and has a ton of celiac patients. She will be scheduling her biopsy shortly and hopefully she will finally have the answers to her medical issues. She has thyroid issues, high blood pressure, extreme exhaustion, as well as a ton of other symptoms. I also believe my dad may have Celiac but since he's adopted, unless he goes and gets tested, we will probably never know.

I hope everyone is doing well!!

Angie, that is great. Hopefully your mom will feel much healthier once on she is on the gluten-free diet.

I just read in your signature that your daughter has DH. If she has been positively diagnosed with it, there is no doubt that she has celiac disease and needs to be on the gluten-free diet. ONLY celiac disease causes DH, and the gluten-free diet is the only valid treatment for it.

Not every person with celiac disease has DH, but everyone with DH has celiac disease, no more testing needed. A diagnosis for DH is automatically a firm diagnosis for celiac disease.

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
