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.

      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...

      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...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

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.

      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.
