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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
