Anyone Remember...

Hi - Anyone else here on this board remember (if they had the tissue transglutaminase test done to diagnose them) what their TTG number or level was?

Just curious...

Mine was a stool test...not blood. I'm not really sure what the difference is but here's my results.

Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 15 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

BTW....I was not consuming gluten for 4 months prior to my test but was still glutened from supplements, etc. Does anyone know if after 4 months this number would have come down? Is it likely it was higher when I was eating gluten everyday?

If I'm totally gluten-free should this number go down to zero eventually?

When diagnosed, over 100.

Last month, bloodwork showed 13.

My husbands was 12 for the tTg which was negative .

Positive biopsy though. :huh:

My son had the test a couple of months ago and scored a 10(neg again)but surely if there's 'no coeliac' it should read zero??(Have asked for a referal for gastro doc as symptoms continue)

Wondered if other celiac disease'ers antibodies ever go to zero?

Odd - my number was 10.5 and then a positive biopsy as well. Don't get it...

I don't know about the antibodies ever going to zero but my doc did say they should go into a negative zone which was about 1 to 7...

My husbands was 12 for the tTg which was negative .

Positive biopsy though. :huh:

I had about 4 times more than I should have had, if I remember correctly. Then with the endoscopy, the doctor could not tell just by my intestines if I had Celiac or not.. they had to take a sample. :huh:

I don't remember my numbers-- but to answer one question: it would never go to zero. You can be perfectly healthy, perfectly non-celiac with no gene or anything, and still have a tTG of say... 6.

Mine was 187. 3 months gluten-free it was 25. I just did my 6 month testing but haven't got result back yet. I am hoping it will be in the norml range.

I didn't have it run before going gluten-free - I only had the EMA. But I am 4 months gluten-free and my ttg was 20 (not sure what the range was, but that was a blood sample). They just told me over the phone to be more diligent about keeping gluten out. Rachel, I am not sure if my number was still 20 just because I am still getting out of my body or if it was because I am still getting it somehow.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
