UK PEOPLE! IGA DEFICENCY

Hi guys, this is a question specifically for those living in the UK who are under the NHS. If any of you have read my previous posts on iga deficiency you'll know i've been finding it difficult trying to get blood tests to check if i have a deficiency or not. I was just wondering if anyone in the UK, but also if anyone has had issues regarding this issue internationally your experiences are welcome too. I ask people within the UK, because I am being told by different doctors that IGA deficiency isn't available on NHS, but that it could be, and then i have also been told that depending on the results of my celiac panel they would test further for iga deficency.. But surely if you have a false negative celiac panel (which i have many times) then you should check for an iga deficiency or at least could be worth checking for that? But its so hard to get any doctor to listen properly. If its available on NHS, i'd like to try my hardest to get it done on the NHS as I am currently out of work because of how chronic my digestive issues are now. Maybe i've got my wires crossed on iga deficiency in which case if anyone has any links, or would like to correct me with some facts, that would be greatly appreciated. 

I ask because I have booked another appointment to see the fourth doctor within a month, and would like some idea on how to approach it and to know if i can request an iga deficiency blood test ( i believe its Igg blood test?) 

 

Any help appreciated, the sooner the better! 

 

thanks guys

      Welcome to the celiac.com family, @Charlie1946! I have not experienced what you are going through except possibly accelerated loss of enamel and receding gums, to some extent, anyway.

      Hi, I'm new, thank you for accepting me and I apologize if this has been asked before.

      Welcome to the forum, @Charlie1946, How long have you been diagnosed with Celiac disease? Do you take any nutritional supplements? Vitamins? Herbal medicine? Do you eat processed gluten free facsimile foods? Is your diet high in carbohydrates?   Many vitamin deficiencies can contribute to poor oral health.  Vitamin C, Cobalamine B12, Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B 2 and Pyridoxine B6, to name a few.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine, B12 and Pyridoxine B 6 have analgesic properties.  They work together to relieve pain better than over-the-counter pain relievers, imho.

      Welcome to the celiac.com family, @Charlie1946! I have not experienced what you are going through except possibly accelerated loss of enamel and receding gums, to some extent, anyway. But I can tell you that thrush and canker sores have been reported by other members of this online community. Let me ask you some questions. First, how long ago were you diagnosed with celiac disease? Second, are you consistent with the gluten-free diet? Third, have you recently been on a course of antibiotics? Thrush often follows on the heels of being on a course of antibiotics because the antibiotics kill off the good bacteria the keep yeast and fungi in check.

And for going on 3 months now, I have been having such severe, throbbing, burning pain in my mouth, teeth and tongue. I have spent most of the time curled up in a ball, sobbing with ice packs on my face. It's only the left side. I have been treated for sinus infections and thrush. I had a canker sore on the roof of my mouth, my tongue was coated and I had the crusty stuff in the corners of my mouth. No one knows what it is, or how to cure it. Anyone else have this?
