Hey so i seen my doctor today and told him how id been of gluten for about 40 days, of course he suggested the blood test which would involve me going back on gluten which i declined as a tiny bit is now causing reactions. I got my lanzoperole changed from 30mg to 15mg which i belive since going gluten free i dont need.

Anyway got the following blood tests to be done 2maro, Full blood count, Glucose random, Liver function tests, Thyroid function test and Urea and electrolytes for gp. I dont know what any of them are for apart from the full blood count, is this good progress? From your experiences am i gonna find anything from these. Thx for your advice as always

You also need a full nutrient panel, for vitamins and minerals - like A, B's (especially B12) D, E, K, potassium, calcium, zinc,ferritin/iron, etc. since gluten can cause depletion of your nutrient levels which leads to other problems. Glad he is doing thyroid. Well, I see he is doing electrolytes which covers a lot of the minerals. When you get those results back ask for the rest.

      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.):
