It is probably anxiety and stress related. However I been like this since my early early childhood... Anti anxiety meds and antidepressants does not help..

 

What do You think about the results?

 

I just knew it!!! That she did not ordered the correct tests! I assume EMA is missing right?!

I dontk know, I am so tires and dont know I

 

 

I just knew it, that she ordered wrong tests.EMA is missing right?There is no range on the actusl sheet for celiac..Is it worth it to go back on gluten?I fed up with all this crap.... :( I think I will go with gluten free diet and will see how it goes.What do You think?

 

And the liver are all fine. ALT range - 21-72 but I heard that it should be low.No?

yep...liver is fine -- I forgot general ranges and just wanted to check.

 

The challenge is up to you.  I'll tell you that if you continue to improve it may become even more difficult to complete a gluten challenge.

 

FWIW - if you think you'll want to be tested, do it now.

 

Is there a celiac support group where you live?  It may help you find a good choice in GI docs that have training/experience with Celiac Disease and NCGS.

 

Hang in there :)

 

edited to add -- many labs do not run the EMA-IgA unless the tTG is positive.  Let us know if you need the complete list of celiac antibody tests -- I think we may have already given it to you -- if not, let us know.

I am in Ireland and can not afford tests.This was covered by my medical card (medical insurance)... I looked online that  TTG ranges from 00 to to 2.9 as far as I remeber. However, could it be possible that because I am not the bigest bread lover so myantibodies were low? I ate tons of gluten fro about 3 weeks prior testing.. I also found that I am lactose intolerant or casein not sure, but its the same anyway..

Gotcha! 

 

By the way...that lactose intolerance can be a result of celiac as well.  If you aren't going to be tested soon -- I strongly suggest you remove all gluten for six months and then trial lactose/casein to see if you can tolerate it.  Regardless of the dairy deal -- since you have symptoms consistent with celiac or ncgs and you had some improvement since you removed gluten -- six months gluten-free should give you the answers you are looking for. -- at least "unofficially" ;)

Actualy! My ferritin levels, do they look a little low, what do you think? Mine is 47, while the range is 28-365 ng/ml what do you think? Also b12 523 is a little low, no? Even though they are within normal limits.. Range: 239-931ng/L

Ferritin is a bit low -- that is what I meant by looking for high/low within referenced ranges.

 

B12 - not bad (some suggest it should be much higher for optimum -- mine was 150s at dx and has risen to the 700s gluten-free (just an example..everyone is different)

Folic acid works in conjunction with B12 for DNA synthesis. Folic acid deficiency causes macrocytic anemia but never neurologic deficits. Common causes of folic acid deficiency incluOpen Original Shared Link poor diet and alcoholism. Since January 1998, the US Food and Drug Administration has required all enriched cereal/grain products to be fortified with folic acid, with the goal of reducing neural tube congenital defects.[10] Nutritionists have expressed concerns that folic acid fortification masks B12deficiency, and a 2007 study demonstrated cognitive impairment in patients with high folate status in the presence of low B12. These patients were anemic without macrocytosis.[10]The authors suggest that excess folic acid precipitates both hematologic and neuropsychiatric manifestations of B12deficiency. Interestingly, folic acid conferred cognitive protection in the presence of normal B12 levels. The point here is that folic acid supplementation in the presence of B12deficiency may actually aggravate neurological symptoms.

 

My folate levels are very high!!! A year ago I was doing a resesrch about thing called MTHFR gene mutation, not sure if you have heard about it before? It is diagnosed through genes. Have a look at this, it might be very helpful for all of you too: 

 

Open Original Shared Link

 

What I also read, that people who usualy have  MTHFR might have hig numbers of folate in their blood, as simple folate is not used by the body do to MTHFR mutation..

 

My levels are > 24 very above the norm. 3-17 ..

ok...you made me look and it seems my results pre-dx in 2009 are not available online -- which means I'll have to pull an old fashion paper file -- um, no -- not happening any time soon.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
