After months of nagging my sister to get tested, she finally agreed and told me yesterday her appointment is for tomorrow. She said when she was talking to the secretary, and told her that one of the things her appt. was for was a celiac test, the secretary said she wasn't sure what that was and she didn't think the dr. would know either.....

Can anyone post exactly what tests are supposed be requisitioned for? What tests does my sister tell the doctor to ask for....

Thanks for any help!

Karen

Let us know how she makes out Karen :) I do hope the doctor agrees to do the tests. Both my daughters had trouble convincing the doctors to do it, even when they told them their mother was Celiac.

Just curious, are these family practice type drs, or GI's? I suspect that my dd has celiac, and am awaiting results via enterolab after getting tired of the wait. I want to get myself tested too, but the expense of enterolab isn't an option. Can I just go to my family Dr. and get these tests run, or will he want to ship me off?

My GI doc ordered these tests done for me but really any doctor can order them done. A family doctor or GI can give orders for these blood tests.The doctor will give you a lab sheet and you go to the lab to get blood drawn and a few days later you'll have the results.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      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.
