Testing Done Today

So I'm hoping someone can help me.  I know a while back while I was waiting for doctor's orders I saw somewhere that said the test codes, unfortunately I cannot find those now.  So, anyway, my doctor ordered these two tests, celiac:  CPT 82784 gluten: CPT 83516, will these be sufficient?  I had the blood drawn today, and would also like to know how long the test will take to come back. 

 

On a good note, my doctor had originally asked me to go through my allergist, but when I went in to see them, I was seen by a new doc that I really felt blew me off.  Said I HAD to go see a GI before having the test done, or that I SHOULD see one prior.  Anyway when I told my doc this, she said she would go ahead and order the tests and then we could discuss the results and go from there.  

 

Thanks for listening,

Kandi

I googled those test numbers...

 

The 82784 looks to be the complete panel:

 

Total Serum IgA

tTG-IgA and tTG-IgG

DGP-IGA and DGP-IgG

EMA-IgA will be run if tTG-IgA is positive.

 

It looks like the 83516 is another tTG-IgA with EMA if tTG is positive.

 

So it LOOKS like you have correct testing ordered, but do be sure to get written or electronic copies of results to be certain what was run.

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      By Francis M · Posted

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Ibuprofen

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
