Hi, 

My name is Jessica and I just got diagnosed with Celiac Disease 6 days ago! But have had stomach/digestive issues for over 10 years. I also found out I am allergic to: Milk, Egg, Peanuts, Soybeans and Corn. So this is definitely been a huge adjustment in my diet. I am glad I found this site as I want to learn all i can about Celiac & the gluten-free way of life. Hope to get to know all of you.

Welcome to the board.  :)

 

It looks like your have even more food issues to deal with than most of us.  There are a fair number around here with corn, soy and dairy issues too - you're in good company.

 

Just a reminder to keep an eye open for celiac in your kids too.  They'll have a 1 in 10, to 1 in 25, chance of developing celiac disease too.  I they are not gluten-free, they should be tested every couple of years for it.

 

Best wishes

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      The IGA TTG (aka, TTG-IGA) is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. A high value in this test indicates probable celiac disease, though there are other reasons (some other diseases, some medications and in some cases, even some non-gluten foods that can cause it to be elevated. And it is not unusual at all for other celiac antibody tests...

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Thanks that's what I didn't know about soy hidden with wheat. I know it's autoimmune but want sure about sensitivity to corn or eggs. There's no tests for these which are non gluten is there? I have had gluten free tortillas pastas made with corn and have had eggs so I don't think it bothers me but I was curious if there was a test that does sure sensitivities...

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      And of course I get these results (the ttg iga marked high at 646 mg/dL) on a Friday in my portal, my doctor wasn't in, and now we are in the weekend—leaving me to have to try and figure things out on my own until sometime next week. None of the nurses at the office would talk to me.

      The IGA TTG (aka, TTG-IGA) is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. A high value in this test indicates probable celiac disease, though there are other reasons (some other diseases, some medications and in some cases, even some non-gluten foods that can cause it to be elevated. And it is not unusual at all for other celiac antibody tests to be normal when the TTG-IGA is high. Normally, when the TTG-IGA is elevated, the physician will order an upper GI with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage characteristic of celiac disease. The biopsy is then sent out for microscopic analysis. This is to confirm the results of the blood testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test. You should not begin a gluten free diet until the endoscopy/biopsy is complete. This is very important because otherwise the results will be invalidated.  This article on celiac disease blood antibody tests might be helpful to you while you are waiting for feedback from the physician:
