Abnormal Results On Gluten Test, Have A Few Questions.

Hi, I found this forum after doing a bunch of reading.  I'm a 34 year old male, long story short, after finding out I had Hashimotos thyroiditis last year I ended up seeing a Naturopathic Dr. who sent me for the Cyrex gluten test.  These are the results I got back.  I haven't seen the naturopath yet, but my primary care doc seems to think this indicates Celiac and has offered to sent me to a GI for endoscopy.  Does this mean I have Celiac or would it point to a non Celiac gluten sensitivity?  I've read so much the past few days I'm a little confused.  I appreciate any help you can offer.  Thank you.

I am not familiar with these tests and am not sure if they are accurrate or not. It is good that your GP is willing to send you to a GI doctor. Keep eating gluten until all testing is complete.

A biopsy via endoscopy can confirm a celiac diagnosis. There is no test to identify a gluten sensitivity at this time. I would recommend researching the University of Chicago's celiac website for testing information.

I wish you well!

I think you should get the Celiac blood tests. There isn't a lot of scientific evidence that these tests by this company are accurate for much.

By the way, the tissue trasnglutaminase-3 is the antibody involved with DH. (celiac in the skin)
(and the ttg-6 is for antibodies in the CNS)
Those cross react sometimes a bit with the ordinary celiac test Ttg-2, sometimes not.

 

Interesting tests.

 

By they way, do you have DH? 

The diagnosis is via skin biopsy of healthy skin while you still eat gluten

Thanks for the answers.  I don't have DH-but I do have acne I think is diet related.

 

I did not know the test I got would not test for Celiac.  I guess I will ask my primary care to give me the standard test for Celiac.  I was eating low-gluten for about 2 weeks before this test and as of 3 days ago I have been gluten free, but I will start eating gluten again starting today until all testing is done.  Do you think I am good to take the blood test or do I need to wait?

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
