Cyrex results, igg?

I've suspected for a while something is screwing with my body. I've had some geographic tongue that started about a year ago. On and off unexplained fatigue, etc. Went through a gambit of testing over the years but nothing came up.

Recently had the Cyrex array 3 done. Results were all normal except elevated IGG for wheat and wheat germ Agglutinin. I've read conflicting things on IGG, but mostly that it doesn't mean anything. Could it just be because I ingested wheat before the testing was done? Might eliminating wheat still be worth it?

Wheat IgG 1.92 0.3-1.5
Wheat IgA 0.52 0.1-1.2
Wheat Germ Agglutinin IgG 2.20 0.4-1.3
Wheat Germ Agglutinin IgA 0.27 0.2-1.1
Native & Deamidated Gliadin 33 IgG 0.42 0.2-1.2
Native & Deamidated Gliadin 33 IgA 0.31 0.1-1.1
Alpha Gliadin 17-mer IgG 0.29 0.1-1.5
Alpha Gliadin 17-mer IgA 0.25 0.1-1.1
Gamma Gliadin 15-mer IgG 0.62 0.5-1.5
Gamma Gliadin 15-mer IgA 0.37 0.1-1.0
Omega Gliadin 17-mer IgG <0.30 0.3-1.2
Omega Gliadin 17-mer IgA 0.14 0.1-1.2
Glutenin 21-mer IgG 0.96 0.1-1.5
Glutenin 21-mer IgA 0.22 0.1-1.3
Gluteomorphin + Prodynorphin IgG 0.33 0.3-1.2
Gluteomorphin + Prodynorphin IgA 0.11 0.1-1.2
Gliadin-Transglutaminase Complex IgG <0.30 0.3-1.4
Gliadin-Transglutaminase Complex IgA 0.24 0.2-1.5
Transglutaminase-2 IgG 0.72 0.3-1.6
Transglutaminase-2 IgA 0.63 0.1-1.6
Transglutaminase-3 IgG 0.88 0.2-1.6
Transglutaminase-3 IgA 0.29 0.1-1.5
Transglutaminase-6 IgG 0.45 0.2-1.5
Transglutaminase-6 IgA 0.20 0.1-1.5

I've lost some of my sense of taste due most likely to zinc deficiency from not eating beef for a couple of years. Zinc supplement doesn't seem to help, but eating .5 to 1 lb of beef per day definitely does help. I noticed a positive change within days of eating beef. I don't know if your diet includes beef, but if it doesn't there's a reason for you.

If your concerned on wheat/gluten, see about getting a actual celiac blood test done, you have to be eating wheat for the test to be accurate. After that you will need the follow up endoscope and biopsy. Open Original Shared Link

Thought cyrex is very similar to a celiac testing panel?

Mostly I was just curious if IGG test results are worth anything as an indicator. I've read they can just indicate that you're actually tolerate or have recent eaten the foods (I was prior to the test).

I don't think they currently do medically approved Celiac testing ( last I heard).

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
