Confusion About Negative Diagnosis


mdonohue20

Recommended Posts

mdonohue20 Newbie

2 weeks ago, I went in to see a new dr about several problems I was having, none of which include any GI symptoms. When she saw that I have Hoshimotos thyroidits, she had me tested for Celiacs. The test came back "negative" however, the antibodies were more than present, just not necessarily enough to make the test positive. Does this mean I have celiacs or not? I'm going to try gluten free and see if it helps, but I'd like to be a little more certain that I'm not just over worrying. Thank you!

The thing about tests is that there is always a "normal" range, anything above that is "abnormal". We all have certain antibodies, it has to do with the levels of tehm.

 

You can still go for the endoscopy if you do so wish. Some members have gotten a positive biopsy with negative blood tests before.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
