Just had my appointment today, 6 months or since I was diagnosed.

 

Labs before DX:

Deaminated Gliadin IGA    73   Range= 0-19

Deaminated Gliadin IGG   42   Range= 0-19

 

 

TTG IgA   8  Range 0-3

 

Labs now:
Deaminated Gliadin IGA   11   Range= 0-19

Deaminated Gliadin IGG  5     Range= 0-19

 

TTG IgA   <2  Range 0-3

 

Vitamin D went from 12 to 35 which is now in normal range

 

Ovarall a huge improvement in my labs and how I feel. Not all the way back to normal but I can function most days with good energy and not gut rot.

 

 

Man, typing on a phone sucks. If a mod sees this could you cleanup the title please? Thanks.

Glad to see you back. Nice to hear that you are improving.

Just typing on a tablet is a pain. I hate the auto correct!

Great numbers! I've been gluten free for two years and some tests are still positive.

Thanks!

 

My Dr. was surprised my labs went down so low, so fast. He said a lot of people take a good year to get to that point. Probably helps that I have pretty much been eating mostly lean meat, fruits and veggies and limiting packaged foods and rarely eating out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
