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

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.

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
