Blood Test Results

I got these results a couple of weeks ago...EGD with biopsy done last Friday to confirm.

 

TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA = 22
IMMUNOGLOBULIN A = 250
ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY SCR (IGA) W/REFL TO TITER = Positive
ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY TITER = 1:40
 
My 7 yr old son has celiac, so I imagine he "got" it from me genetically.
 
I also had a colonoscopy done on Friday which determined I have ulcerative colitis. I am being treated for that specifically, and have since started a gluten-free diet like my son based on my blood test results.
 
Just introducing myself to the online community here. Thanks for being here!

Thanks! I am hopeful. I am honestly grateful that the diagnosis wasn't worse.

So true!  At least it is something that won't require life long meds like so many autoimmune problems do. Celiac can be very bad, but as you said, it could be much worse.  :)

Well, the ulcerative colitis I was also diagnosed with will require lifelong meds! However, the worse I was thinking of was cancer or crohns disease (though ulcerative colitis and crohns are closely related, but UC only affects the lower intestine). I'll take lifelong meds and adjusted diet over chemo or radiation therapy!

Welcome, I wasn't clear if you are positive for celiac or still waiting for a definitive answer on that.  I am glad for a disease that does not take medication, but only diet.  Who Knows, though, what will happen for you?  Best wishes for your healing.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Could this be a new intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.
