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

      This doctor is obviously under educated about Celiac Disease. Deficiencies that can cause oral thrush (Candidiasis) mouth ulcers: Thiamine B1 B12 Folate Zinc Vitamin C B2 B6 Iron Malabsorption Syndrome is often co-morbid with Celiac Disease causing multiple deficiencies of the essential vitamins and minerals.  Low or deficient  Vitamin D is almost always found in undiagnosed Celiac Disease. "Over 900 genes have been reported as regulated by vitamin D"  Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset  "The overall prevalence rate of vitamin D deficiency was 41.6%, with the highest rate seen in blacks (82.1%), followed by Hispanics (69.2%)."    Prevalence and correlates of vitamin D deficiency in US adults

      I saw the thing for testing for gluten when at public places.I absolutely love but I wonder if they would come up with a bracelet or necklace that can detect gluten in the air.I would LOVE that, i know i get debilitating migraine from smelling gluten wheat what have you, all I know is when I go into places like Chevron- gluten Subway, migraine, Costco that food smell of nasty gluten- migraine and same with Walmart subway.I absolutely HATE im that sensitive, my body reacts.Sadly medical hasn't taken core issue of celiac being an issue considering glutenfree ever since 1994 and in their eyes not because they didn't diagnose me. I am and wish I wasn't. If there was a detector of gluten in the air it would make a world of difference.

      Oops! @Staticgypsy, I’ll get the book! Thank you!

      Thank you so much for your help, @trents and @Staticgypsy! I so appreciate your thoughts. My diet is high in foods with oxalates and I don’t notice any issues there. If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was many years into gluten-free eating (and was much more careful at that point), I’m just baffled. Many, many thanks to you both.

      I did'nt know that, I will check what specifically the blood tests were for. Thanks
