Blood work results and I need help understanding


KDB1845

Recommended Posts

I was just tested for celiac and I just got the blood work and I am not sure what to make of it. We already knew I have sensitivities to Wheat, gluten and peanuts. What brought this on is that I was recently hospitalized with Very bad stomach and intentional infections in which I was put into isolation because I had turned septic and every time I eat I get sick and my abdomen swells to the point where my clothes don't fit. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what these results could mean or where to look. This is all the information I have. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!  These results are negative.  However, you stated that you knew that you had a wheat sensitivity.  All celiac testing requires you to be on a full gluten diet for about 8 to 12 weeks prior to the blood tests or the results will be negative/invalid.  Were you eating wheat/gluten at the time?   Some celiacs are seronegative, but still have intestinal damage.  Some  are IGA deficient (this control test was not run).  Some test negative to many of the celiac tests like me.  I test positive only to the DGP IgA which you did not have.  

What was your diagnosis given at the hospital?

I was eating wheat and gluten at the time of the test. No test or diagnoses was done while I was in hospital they just Gave me a list of could be’s and nothing was done they just sent me home once the sepsis was gone. I went to my auto immune dr because they thought I had lupus or hypothyroid and he suggested having a colonoscopy to test for chrons and endoscopy to test for celiac after the blood work. Having the colonoscopy Dec 7th. Getting tired of being sick, bloated beyond belief all the time and just flat out drained and sluggish.  Gaining weight for no reason at all to which is strange. I read the blood work as negative as well just wanted to see if I was reading it right and see if I could get more info.

You might consider the endoscopy.  Like I said, some celiacs (about 10%) have negative blood tests.    The endoscopy can rule out other issues too (like Crohn’s).  

Not all celiacs are wasting away either.  I hope they figure it out and you feel better fast!

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      Thanks I am mostly looking for everyday staples and easy meal ideas nothing too specialty if possible.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?
