I just got my blood test results back. I dont even understand what they mean. Can someone tell me if this test is negative. Also if it is should I assume I am not Celiac and just gluten intolerant because my enterolab results were positive. I am so confused. I made an appt. with a GI doctor for next week to see if I can have a biopsy or something to see what is causing all of my symptoms.

Thanks so much. :)

Just click on the link below because I cant figure out how to get the picture in here.<_<

Here is the lab results.

From what I can tell your results are negative for Celiac. The only way to know for sure (since you were positive with Enterolab) would be to go on the diet 100% for at least a few weeks to see if there is a difference in symptoms. If you plan on having the biopsy wait till after its done to go on the diet.

I just cant quite figure out why it is negative and enterolab was a definate positive although I only had the Iga test done through them. The results where 19 gliadian Iga (>10). I see a GI doctor next week to find out if not celiac what is causing so much diarhea and food malabsorbtion. Not to be gross but I can actually identify what is in my Poo (sorry TMI) along with the fat rings in my Poo. Everyday too! It is getting so annoying. So I will wait to go gluten-free still :rolleyes: I just know it is my problem celiac or no celiac. If not maybe I am just crazy like they have been telling me all along.. :o:angry:

I also thinking when I get a few extra bucks of ordering the saliva gene test through enterolab: seems that would be very accurate to say whether or not you would be more likely to ever develop Celiac or other autoimmune things.

I swear if it wasnt for the negative blood work I would think I definetly had Celiac. When I read the symptoms I match around 90 percent of them including depression and infertilty etc...etc.. :unsure:

Rachel thank you so much for helping. I am lost without this board.. :blink:

Just a note, if I had only gone off blood work I would still be eating gluten and still be sick. You are doing the right thing by continuing to pursue this with your doctor but don't be afraid to give the diet a try before you say for sure that gluten isn't a problem.

Thanks for that recommendation Ravenwood.. :)

Yes, Ravenwood is right. If I went off my bloodtests alone I'd still be sick too. I had my bloodtests October last year and they were negative so I kept eating gluten until I could no longer get out of bed at all. I had the same problem as you with my food coming out undigested and I lost 25 lbs.

I really see why this disease is so underdiagnosed now. :( If I am just technically Gluten Intolerant can this still cause all of the symptoms of Celiac Disease without actually having Celiac Disease. In other words is one just the bad as the other as far as attacking your body all over if untreated? ;)

Yes, it can be just as bad w/out being Celiac. Have you read Dangerous Grains? It explains alot.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
