Upper endoscopy last week resulted in positive biopsy for celiac disease. The IgA they ran was normal (114). Does positive biopsy automatically mean definitive diagnosis? -

Insomnia help
Thank you so much @knitty kitty I really appreciate this information. I’m so thankful to have found this forum and this community.

"I'm wondering if she just hadn't eaten enough to test positive?" --> Because your daughter is "IGA deficient", the (gliadin IGA) test she was given could not work properly and the result of that particular test was meaningless. The amount of gluten she did/didn't eat would not matter for that part, whether or not she actually has celiac disease....

Thank you so much @knitty kitty I really appreciate this information. I’m so thankful to have found this forum and this community. After reading the book “at last a life” that @cristiana recommended, I have been experiencing a lot more anxiety than I thought I was. This book really helped me put things into perspective. In terms of the B complex, do you have recommendations for amounts or any B complex should do? I am in Canada if that makes any difference for brands. Also those articles are very helpful as well, thank you. I know 3 months is still early in the healing period but these tips are very helpful to hopefully feel physically better sooner than later!

"I'm wondering if she just hadn't eaten enough to test positive?" --> Because your daughter is "IGA deficient", the (gliadin IGA) test she was given could not work properly and the result of that particular test was meaningless. The amount of gluten she did/didn't eat would not matter for that part, whether or not she actually has celiac disease. If instead she had had normal levels of IGA in her blood, then the question of how much gluten she was eating would become relevant. -
That sounds very hernia inducing work! You confirm what I have suspected, I get pain just to the right of the umbilical hernia, I am sure there is a connection. If do see my gastroenterologist I'll mention it again. I can't help thinking I've also got an issue in my groin, perhaps a hernia threatening, I guess an ultrasound would be needed to confirm it.
