Hi all,

Just wanted some input on what should be done next. I've been diagnosed with psoriasis, gout, and the constant aching/swelling joints so far this year. At my last blood work I asked my RA about the possibility of celiac disease and he ok'd the test and chalked it up to thinking outside the box. Although he is convinced that the gout or psoriatic arthritis might be causing my discomfort. The test came back with these results:

Transglutaminase IGA AB,  my value <1.2 WITH A STANDARD RANGE OF <4.0.

 

Celiac disease antibodies: IGA, my value 527 WITH A STANDARD RANGE OF 61-356 mg/dl

 

My RA said it was very unlikely I had celiac disease but the other blood work that has been done might prove different. I've had low iron and normal iron levels. Low and hi uric acid levels (now low). And now he wants to look at my fatty liver even tho I haven't drank hard since I was in my 20's.

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks

      I can’t figure out how to attach a photo here, but thank you so much for your response. And thank you for the welcome.

      Are you asking if it is typical to only have the ttg-iga be high and the other tests being within normal range? Is so, the answer is it is very common. What other tests were included in the celiac panel? Can you list all tests and include not only the scores but the reference ranges? Different labs use different reference ranges so it is difficult to say much by just looking at the scores. Welcome to the forum, @kpf!

      Levels on my celiac panel were within normal range except ttg iga which was tagged as high (646 mg/dl). Is that typical?

      A lot of people erroneously think soy is a problem for people needing to be on a gluten-free diet. Trents' comment above speaks to some celiacs also having a sensitivity to soy, but this is just some of them.  However, soy sauce is something anyone following a gluten-free diet should be wary of. Many soy sauces contain wheat, which is where the soy/gluten confusion comes into play. There is gluten-free soy sauce available, just read labels to be sure. I use San-J Tamari, which is gluten-free but does contain soy, in place of regular soy sauce.
