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

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
