TTG results

Hello, I am new to all of this.  My daughter has been struggling with symptoms for quite a while.  She has been suffering from vomiting for about 6 months now!  We finally were able to get the IGG, IGA, and TTG drawn.  IGG was 62, IGA was 32 (I believe, it may have been the other way around, I don't have the copy in hand) but her TTG came back at 868.1.... So to me that is SCREAMING positive and VERY HIGH.  The dietitian I work with, said the highest she has seen it was 120's.  Has anyone had experience with this?  Are there any MDs or NPs on here that would be able to explain it a little better?  We can't get into a GI specialist for 6 weeks!!!  I am also having trouble getting her dad to believe and understand this is truly a condition we have to prepare for.  He says she doesn't have symptoms at his house so he will not be changing anything! So that will be a huge challenge.  If anyone has any tips or ideas how to do gluten free in split families?  I plan to go gluten free with her, so it wont be any problem at my house- which she is only at her dads every other weekend, so it isn't ALOT, but it still needs to be followed at his house.  Has anyone had their TTG that high?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Celiac antibodies can be that high.  We just had a poster on here today!  My lab only goes to 200, so mine might have been as high as your daughters.   What is known is that antibodies do not always correlate to severe intestinal damage.  Get the endoscopy.  Now, this is important......VERY important.....keep her on gluten until she has the endoscopy and you have the biopsy results in your hand!  Why?  This can help your  ex see the the need for her to maintain a gluten free diet.  If he refuses, you have ammunition to go back to court.  We are talking about a child’s health and welfare!  

Celiac disease is genetic.  Both parents, siblings, etc. should be tested.  Do not go gluten free until you have been tested.

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Toothpaste question.

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
