Did I Get The Right Tests Done?

[rrmac]

Hello I have just joined the forum and have been reading for hours and learning soooo much. I just want to check that I had the proper tests before I get to far along on a gluten-free diet.

 

Antinuclear Ab (ANA)  1:80 range <1:40

 

ANA ifa pattern Homogeneous

 

Gliadin Deamidated AB IgG          37.1H    range <=20 neg, 20.0-30 weak positive, >30 positive

 

Gliadin Deamidated AB IgA          56.7H    range <=20 neg, 20.0-30 weak positive, >30 positive

 

Transglutaminase AB IgA, EIA     >100.0H   range <=20 neg, 20.0-30 weak positive, >30 positive

 

Endomysial IGA Antibody             Positive    range negative

 

ENDO TITER                                 1:10*       no range is given

 

I was not a big gluten consumer prior to testing although the las few years after doing the SCD diet for 2 years I would consume gluten occasionally ( I maintained a low carb diet) with a more frequent consumption 4 - 6 months prior to these tests after deciding. I do have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. 

 

Thanks Diane

You had the best tests done, and they are all positive - you don't see that often. Welcome to the club.

I agree, you are very positive, especially since you were not consuming much gluten leading up to the tests.  I would be extra vigilant to make sure you are not consuming hidden gluten in other foods though too.
