Test results

Hi, I am just wondering if anyone can tell me what they think of these results. This was done in 2015 and my doctors response by email was  " I got your labs and everything looks great except you are still gluten allergic. Thus I would highly recommend off all gluten as those people who are gluten allergic can actually develop a rare form of small intestine cancer with persistant use. So I would be careful."   

ANTI-ENDOMYSIAL 1:10 HI <1:10  
         
TRANSGLUTAMINASE,IgA,Ab 0.9   <7.0 ELiA U/mL
TRANSGLUTAMINASE,IgG,Ab 0.8   <7.0 ELiA U/mL

 

She tells me to stay off of gluten but then to just be careful.  

Thanks for any input!

Welcome to the forum!  

You have a positive on the celiac panel.  Your doctor should have referred you to a Gastroentrologist for further testing.  Celiac disease is not a gluten allergy.  Celiac disease is a autoimmune disorder that is triggered by gluten.  Other autoimmune disorders like thyroiditis, lupus, MS and RA have unknown triggers.

If you are still consuming gluten, consider testing.  If you have been gluten free since 2015, read our "Newbie 101" coping section to insure that you are gluten free compliant (plus, great tips).  As for cancer, that is one thing your doctor (and i would get a new one) got right, but cancer is really rare.

ANTI-ENDOMYSIAL is positive?

Hmm why would the doctor stop there and not refer you to a gastro? He/She should...

Thank you both.  This is the third positive result I have had since 2012.  I did go to a Gastroenterologist in 2012 but it was because she also found HPylori so we were more focused on curing that.  My doctor(s) really haven't been clear enough though and I only realized she thought I had Celiac when I just saw it on my patient chart.  I guess she knows I am terrified of the scope and that is what she says Gastro would recommend so in that case just stay off gluten. I definitely needed more education about it though.  Without having symptoms I have been on and off a gluten-free diet all this time. Now, with a potential Lupus diagnosis also I did more research and found this forum thankfully. I plan to stay gluten-free forever now so I will be reading and asking more questions I'm sure.

oh my! hearing a doctor use the phase gluten allergic is so cringy. you would hope they would know you can't be allergic to gluten and that the test you had wasn't an allergy test. I can't believe he didn't even mention celiac disease to you considering you tested positive for it. you definitely need to find a doctor who is better informed. did they test you for any vitamin deficiencies as well? like iron or b12? good to hear you are going to be completely gluten free now. :)

Agreed, Emma! I have been tested for many other things but all are fine. I am usually a little low on D3 but ok after remembering to take supplements for a few months. I only realized she thought I had Celiac disease when I saw she added it to my chart on the patient portal. My first test was in 2012, she added that in 2015 but failed to tell me specifically the blood tests are pretty specific and I probably have it  :-(  Hopefully I am not learning all this too late and going gluten-free now at 42 will be enough!

      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?

      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?
