Just receive my latest blood test results of  tTa of 31   (<20 is neg)  Been eating gluten-free for over 1 year.  Pre diagnosis  blood test was 33, did biopsy positive . Doc said not eating gluten-free, but I check everything, including meds, very careful about cross contamination,  I am chemist + Pharm manufacturing  training so have very good knowledge  in preventing cross contamination.  Need constructive advice  Thanks in advance

Were the tests run at the same laboratory?  I would start there.

 

Were you having obvious S&S before dx? Have those gone away?  Do you eat out a lot?  Did you change out things like your toaster and strainers?

How far do you go in avoiding processed foods that may have been contaminated before they get to you?  At first I just avoided anything with gluten-containing ingredients.  My antibodies went down but not to normal levels.  I had to use Fasano's gluten contamination elimination diet:

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
