your cousin needs to be worked up for celiac, ASAP.  i know he is not 1' degree, but he is not all that far removed.

not to be rude or nosy, were you an only d/t miscarriage?  that tends to be more common in celiac women

 

Interesting thought!  Older sibling lived about 24 hours before passing.  Mom had a tough pregnancy (as she did with me).  Medical family members have speculated it was because mom had ITP in her 20s, but that's just a guess.  Never officially dx as a celiac.

Finally got my lab results today.  Positive for DPG IgG (12.0 EU/ml), and DPG IgA (9.9 EU/ml).  TTG IgA was negative at 0.5 U/ml, and EMA IgA was negative.  Total serum IgA by Nephelometry was 173 mg/dl.  

 

Thoughts?  

Now that I have the report, I'll contact the GI MD as we discussed above.  

Thanks guys!

Two positives?  Looks like an endoscopy is in order.  When I tested, I only had one positive on the DGP IgA and the rest were negative, yet I had a Marsh Stage IIIB which translates to moderate to severe damage.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Make sure to continue eating gluten until the endoscopy is done. Push very hard for 6 biopsies!

Thanks ladies!  

Reintroducing gluten (from my Whole 30) Friday.  Should be interesting.  So far, the only thing that has given me issues was dairy.  It'll be pancakes and a couple of beers on Friday for me...

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By kate g · Posted

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
