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?

I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

      Gluten free phosphate binders for dialysis patients

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...
