Does This Look Like Celiac.

I have had diarrhea issues for almost a year along with extreme fatigue and muscle/joint pain. After visiting a gastro I was told I may have celiac disease. I go in on the 31st for my endoscopy, but here are my blood results... Tissue transglutaminase AB, IGA 8 U/ml; Gliadin(deamidated) AB (IGA) 36 H; immunoglobulin A 195

My vitamin B was only 237, and my vitamin D was 36.... And my CRP was slightly elevated. Are these results indicative of Celiacs disease? I did fast for my blood work..... Didn't know I wasn't suppose to. Oops

can you post the reference ranges for your lab?

There are no values for tt iga or gilidian iga.. just says its high. The Immunogl. Is good... between 81-463. Which test is more specific to celiac?

The tTG IgA is slightly more specific for celiac disease, but only by a percent or two. The DGP tests are very good celiac tests, if it was high, then you are most likely a celiac... Welcome to the club. ;)

This article, on page 12 discusses how specific the tests are:

31+ is high and mine was 36 :( I think the sandwich I just ate after 2 weeks of no gluten has solidified the diagnosis. My tummy sounds like a war zone right now.

I hope you feel better on the gluten-free diet. Best wishes.

      Thanks for your input.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
    • Churro
      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week. 
    • trents
      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done recently?

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.
