fascinating reading! I am especially (pleasantly) surprised at the part on how it is diagnosed. That there is no one specific test that can either definitively diagnose or exclude celiac in every individual. And also that it mentions the unreliability of the seriologic tests in children under 5. My daughter was 3 when we went through the (horrific) testing procedure for her... Oh if we had only known then what we know now!

Thank you for posting ! I am reading everything and anything that I can about this disease - (I'm newly diagnosed)...

Thanks to other posts I bought Wheat Free, Worry Free....by Danna Korn and Shelly Case's gluten-free Diet: Comprehensive Resource Guide. I've read about 1/2 of Danna Korns book and think it's great - she writes in a way that makes it easier for me to understand the why behind this disease/symptoms.

If you haven't already read it, I recommend it to others. :)

:D Great link....it is good to hear that you have a good doctor. Mine has never dealt with a celiac patient before so I am giving this link to him. Maybe we all need to educate our doctors a little more so that they understand what we deal with every day ;)

Thanks

Penny, more likely your doc. has dealt with celiac patients but didn't know it, many of us are the flag flyers, hang in there,

Michelle, your doc. actually wants you to know this stuff, truly amazing! Just goes to prove, good news is never far away! Am going to disseminate it further (without your name on).

Thanks for the info. I WILL be reading the cancer and celiac disease. My dad died at 43 from T-cell lymphoma and I am rapidly approaching that age myself! ;)

Thanks for the thanks ;) But I am just thrilled to have such a great doctor who is so unbelievably caring & considerate. She told me that I'm her first celiac patient and I think she is actually kind of fascinated by it. But - more than anything - she is just incredibly nice! She called me a couple of weeks ago to tell me about some test results and was really excited for me because she'd found out that Ben & Jerry's is (mostly) gluten-free. I thought that was so sweet! Of course, I reminded her that I'm allergic to dairy.. :rolleyes: (To which she responded, "Damn!" tee-hee)

Anyway - I am incredibly lucky. She diagnosed me while she was working on a paper / presentation on celiac disease (probably for school - she's a nurse practitioner at the Univ. of Utah). After we had done about 15 other tests (diabetes, thyroid, HIV, etc) she called one day and said, "You know, I'm working on this paper - and the whole time I'm writing it I'm thinking 'I bet this is what Michelle has!'"

I knew right then that she was wonderful - I mean, how many other doctors think about their patients when they *aren't* at work?

I'll be sure and pass on any other information I receive!

I love you guys! *sniff* ;)

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      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.
