Hi everyone,I'm very new to this. I'm being tested for celiac disease. Doctor said I definitely have a gluten allergy. So I got my test results from the doctors office today, still wait on lab quest results. I just don't under any of them, so if anyone could help that would be great.

test. Results. Range

tsh. 2.65. .50-6.00

Vb12. 311. 230-1050

Wbc. 13.9. High. 3.1-9.2

Rbc. 4.65. 3.1-9.2

Hgb. 14.9 gr. 11.5-16.1

Hct. 43.6% 34.5-47.8

Mcv. 93.8 cu miCr 82.6-95.8

Mch. 32.0 pico gr 27.9-32.9

Mchc. 34.1% 32.6-35.4

Rdw. 13.2% 11.4-14.6

Plt. 319. 140-350

MpV. 8.1. 7.0-10.6

Seg. 56% 45-75

Lymph. 39% 20-45

Mono. 0% 0-10

Band. 5% 0-5

The only thing I see is my Wbc count is high.

No celiac results here. A high WBC can indicate an infection, but we are not doctors here. I am sure your doctor will investigate further. Your thyroid could be off or normal. It is not a complete thyroid panel. Let us know your celiac results. Hopefully, they took a complete panel or a diagnosis can be missed.

I wish you well!

There isn't any such thing as a "gluten allergy".  You may test positive for a wheat allergy but you would most likely already know if that was true as the symptoms of an actual allergic reaction happen from immediately after ingestion to about 2 hours after.

 

That said, nothing in the bloodwork you posted is allergy testing.

Ok when I eat gluten, I very sick, first my stomach starts to hurt, i get bloated then the next I feel like I have the flu, my joints and muscle hurts so bad I can hardly move. I'm exhausted, I have a headache that will not go away, painful gas. Then the diarrhea starts. I'm like this for 4-5 days. It feels like I'm being slowly poisoned to death.

Sorry that you are not feeling well!

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder (like Lupus, Etc.) that is triggered by consuming gluten. It causes damage to the intestines and can produce up to 300 symptoms. Here is a link to the University of Chicago's celiac website that does a good job of covering all the basics:

Open Original Shared Link

Post the results of your celiac tests when you get them, along with the ranges (different labs have different ranges) and we will try to help you out. Keep eating gluten until all testing is complete (you might need an endoscopy next).

Hang in there!

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
