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?

      Gluten free nuts

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat. I am going to keep checking. Thank...

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      I’m glad you have a clear answer. Some endoscopes have enough magnification for the doctor to see the damage during the procedure.

      Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili

      While it seems unlikely to contain intentional gluten ingredients--and based on the ingredients you provided, this canned Wendy's chili appears to be gluten-free, but with a very important caveat: it cannot be considered certified or guaranteed gluten-free due to the potential for cross-contamination and the ambiguous nature of "natural flavors."

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I could not find the thread, but I recall at least one user who was drinking regular gluten beer daily but getting celiac blood tests done often (I think it was monthly) and doing a biopsy each year and all celiac disease tests were always negative. Everyone is different, but in general regular beer would be considered low gluten (not gluten-free!). I have no issues with Daura Damm, but those who are super sensitive might.
