I appreciated that Jennifer brought it out that celiac disease causes many symptoms, not just the classic ones.  She seems to describe many symptoms that were neurological as I did.

 

The GI doctor in this program brought out that it is a genetic disease and is present from birth.  That is what I wanted to talk about.  When I got my genetic test I believed I was getting the new gold standard check for celiac disease.  This is what the GI doctor mentioned briefly in the video. This is the first time I heard a GI doctor indicate that it is a new gold standard test.  Here is what I would like to talk about:

 

Problems with the anitbody test:  false negatives, low IgA, symptoms,

Why genetic celiac needs a trigger-How do we know this?

Family members testing negative when one knows they have at least one gene and possible symptoms.

The multitude of celiac symptoms.  What are doctors looking for.

What symptoms are specifically linked with celiac or gluten.  eczema? psorises? AI diseases

 

Personally, I wonder if genes without negative tests may mean a case of celiac that doesn't trigger a positive test yet.  Maybe one has to be really off to make a positive test.  Then maybe when the immune system has so much damage, one will test negative again.

 

My thoughts here are very speculative mostly questioning and not argumentative, so please just consider any answers or experience you can share. 

 

The doctor Roshini Raj form NYU Lango Medical Center said that the genetic test is "the new gold standard test for celiac."

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
