Can Someone Help Me With My Test Results?

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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self.

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
