Sed Rate Question

Hi- We are brand new to the world of celiac and are trying to learn as much as we can. Thank you all for the information you share on this forum. 

 

Our daughter is going through diagnoses for celiacs right now. Her blood work came back with high TTG levels (IgA 76 and IgA >100). She will have a biopsy at the end of this month to confirm.

My question is around Sed Rate. Her Sed Rate was at 47. The GI dr. felt that this might be related to celiac but could also indicate another issue (such as IBD). Has anyone else had a high Sed Rate that ended up going down once they were gluten free? I know the Dr. can't really say much without the testing being complete but I would love to get a little hope that we are not facing two issues right now.

Thank you!

Welcome!

 

Inflammation in the body can indeed be caused by Celiac Disease.

 

Once gluten free many autoimmune symptoms can resolve completely or greatly improve.

 

Celiac Disease is genetic...Mom, Dad and any siblings need to be tested at 3-5 year intervals or more often should symptoms arise.

 

Good luck with the endoscopy at the end of the month...use this time to prepare to remove ALL gluten from your daughter's diet.  Take a look at this thread....it contains great info that will help ease the transition:

      Daughter waiting for appointment

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      In the USA we also do a fruit cake that probably has UK origins, and my grandmother's always had lots of rum in it. I just found these:

      Scanlan, any luck with the b1 vitamins or anything else ? New celiac of 10 months and anytime I push myself i over exert myself with weights I’m exhausted for several days afterwards.  Had a blood test done too and everything was normal.  Thanks !

      My daughter had her endoscopy today. The Dr said it looked normal but she has two small ulcers. The Dr took 16 biopsies, ahold have the results in a few days. She told her to keep eating gluten until we get the biopsy results unless it’s bothering her stomach too much.  has anyone else had ulcers with celiac?
