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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

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.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
