i had my blood work printed out from when my celiac was at it worst, this is what they say i have anyway doctor said my vili are flat and damaged. BUT my blood levels were all normal igA was 171 i think and immunoglubulin G i think was like 100 not sure what the others are they didnt check them all, all cbc was normal, thyroid was normal, so how the hell can i have celiac but normal blood levels, i have had it for 2 years and was horribly constipated, tarry black fatty nasty smelling stools, ribbon like stools, pulsating abdomen, fatigue, headaches, weakness , throat discomfort, abdomen swollen, im tired of hurting and nothing seems to work, and the blood work isnt showing i have it. are there certain deficiencies that could be causing my extreme muscle fatigue and tiredness, even my face muscles get weak and talking seems to take alot of effort.

I'm not sure what you tests actually had - but a TTg IGA of 100 would  be extremely positive in most labs scales.

 

Maybe you could get the actual results with the scale or ranges.

Check the copy of your labs like Karen suggested. Your previous posting stated that your "antibodies were high".

I am assuming that you are really having an off day! It will get better. You just need more time.

You mentioned having a CBC and a thyroid test. You need to ask your doctor to check your vitamin levels (e.g. Vit. D, B-12, folate, etc). That is not included in a CBC.

Keep looking to your diet too. There is a huge learning curve! Get plenty of rest and make sure any meds or supplements are gluten free. When in doubt, ask us! It is hard to think clearly when you are so ill! We have all been there!

I'm not sure what is going on but your first post says your blood tests were normal. Now you say they are positive. Anyway.....

It will take a few months, at least to reverse vitamin deficiencies from celiac

I didn't know what test they ran but if you Google normal iga levels I thought mine were normal.

80-350mg/dl iga is normal range from what I read. So 173 is normal? But anything over 10 units/ml of ttg iga is positive and high mine is 173 they didn't say if it was ttg iga or specify so I was confused.

You have a normal serum IGA. That just shows that your other tests will be accurate. I'm sorry... could you post what each test actually says? In one post you say they are negative and another that they are positive. It sounds like you make a normal amount of "IGA" so the IGA tests are accurate. It sounds like you had a positive blood test? And positive biopsy?

They said both were positive

You are very early in the healing process and it is going to take some time to recover. It is quite possible to have a normal CBC on testing and still be celiac. What matters is your postive Celiac panel results. I know it is hard to be patient with your recovery but we really don't have a choice. Do you best to make sure you are doing all you need to prevent CC and if you haven't already do read the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section. Also make sure your little one gets screened regularly as Celiac is strongly genetic.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor. Sourdough...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means. However, the way the result is presented does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?
