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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Inconclusive results

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.
