Inconclusive Results - Does This Mean I Do Or Do Not Have Celiac?

I have been tested twice in the past two and a half years for Celiac Disease - once when I first visited a GI and again after having a baby. Both times my test results came back inconclusive. I have been gluten-free 100% since this past test because it makes me feel so much better. I know that there is non-Celiac gluten intolerance, and maybe I fall into that category. But what if I do have Celiac and those rare times when I get glutened are really harming my body? My GI told me that there are 16 or so markers to test for but that they could only test for two. Is that true?

Get a copy of the tests that were run.  I'm not sure what he means by 16 markers.  There are a couple of blood tests, and endoscopy with a biopsy and response to diet.  Maybe he is one of the many that don't know anything about Celiac?

The usual tests are:

  • tTG IgA and tTG IgG
  • DGP IgA and DGP IgG
  • EMA IgA
  • total serum IgA (a control test)
  • AGA IgA and AGA IgG (older and less reliable tests)
  • endoscopic biopsy

There are a few older tests (reticulin IgA?) that can look for celiac disease but they are very rarely used anymore.

 

Bring us your results, and normal ranges, and we can help you interpret them.

If he said 'markers', that sounds to me like he meens genetic markes? I know they test for two different genetic markers that most people with celiac (and quite a few others) have, maybe he thinks/knows that there are more markers that celiacs' have in common, but they can not test fro them?

Thanks, y'all! I don't think I ever received the test results from my GI, so I've requested copies of all of my records and I'm waiting for those to come back to me. I'll let y'all know what I find.

      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.
