Lab Questions

So a couple years ago I was tested for celiac...

Ttg IgG/IgA were all negative

DGA IgG/IgA were all negative

AGA IgG: Positive

AGA IgA Negative

HLADQB1*02 Negative

HLADQB1*03:02 Negative

HLADQA1*05 Positive

Biopsies have all been negative.

I suffer from Hashimoto's thyroiditis and I just feel miserable with all the body aches and brain fog. My son was born back in July and I'm just so tired of not feeling well and I really want to finally feel good and enjoy life to the fullest.  I'm thinking of asking for my labs to be repeated again and see.  I'm just wondering if it is possible for me to still have celiac or if I'm just looking for something that just isn't there because I'm desperate for answers...

Appreciate any input!!

Thank you

Your previous positive test what was the result and the lab range?  Low positives can be the result of other issues but it that result was a high positive you should have had a scope done.  Do go ahead and get the panels rerun. Celiac can appear at any time and for women the trigger can often be childbirth.

My result for Anti-Gliadin IgG was 3.59IV and anything greater than 0.90 is considered positive.  I did have a biopsy done and it was negative at the time.

The doctor did just order a celiac panel again for me.  Back in September I had some slightly enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes that were found in a CAT scan that he he said were non-specific but I asked if I should be retested and he didn't hesitate to reorder so we'll see...

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
