Hello. I am 20 and was recently diagnosed with hasimotoo's diese. In the round of blood work my endocrinologist did to find out what was going on with me, there was a celic diese panel. The results are attached. Could someone please explain to me what they mean? Thank you. ^_^

What did e doctor say?  Those say that you have Celiac.  Did he refer you to a GI doctor?  That should usually be the next step.

Yep, those results mean you should get an appt with a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy.

Looks like you might be on your way to a celiac disease diagnosis.  As much as I like having easy access to medical records online, it can be unnerving to see results that are potentially scary or life altering.  You need to call your doctor and set up a GI appointment.  Until then, read some reliable celiac websites and learn about this autoimmune condition, testing and treatment.  

The University of Chicago has a vast website to read.  Here is a link and a place to start:

This is IMPORTANT.....keep eating gluten.  Do not stop.  All the celiac tests require a person to be on gluten.  

Learn about the diet and tips on our thread Newbie 101 under the coping section.  Get to the library and read celiac books.  More knowledge will help you make better choices and you will feel better physically and emotionally.  

Hugs!  You will be okay.  This is one autoimmune disorder (unlike your Hashi's) that can be managed by food alone!  Yeah!  ?

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
