Help With Daughters Blood Results

Hi, although my daughter shows no sign of gluten intolerance I thought she should be tested just so we could rule it out, and so she  had a blood test  yesterday and now they are closed for the holidays, and so I wondered could someone be kind enough to  explain the results.
 
  IMMUNOLOGIA                          RESULTADO                    UNIDADES
ANALISIS
Transglutaminasa tisular 1gA          2.7                                   U/mL
Negativo < o = 15
Positivo > 15

it is negative based on what you posted but an IGA deficiency test was not included. Based on my own experience, if my doctor had not ordered the complete blood panel, I would not have received my diagnosis. My TTG was negative, like your daughter's, but only one of my DPGs was positive! My biopsy revealed a Marsh Stage IIIB.

So, you can not really rule out celiac disease based on one test alone. Are you sure there weren't others?

I didn't go to the doctors, they would have charged me a fortune just for the consultation and I don't have medical insurance, but shes not sick at all, the test was for me really, peace of mind, that kind of thing.

 

We just went into a professional Lab that does blood tests, but I think if he had explained to me I needed a bit more I would have paid, but no chance of that happening where I live!!!  (this is the problem with living in another country, a language problem, no matter how good your Spanish is) Anyway she doesn't show any signs of having problems at all, nothing, I think if she was showing some signs I would have had the full panel done, but shes not.   I did google to find out what was the minimum of tests and this came up as being the most trusted test, and as I said she seems as fit as a fiddle, its me that's the sick person. 

 

Maybe I should get her retested in a couple of years, shes 28 and seems fine, but because I have some autoimmune disorders I think I worry for her.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
