Help w/ Bloodwork

We got my daughters blood back. (I know it wasn't a full panel) I need help. My gut screams celiac. We got a referral to a pediatric GI. Could her blood work still be indicative of celiac. Thanks

 

Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IGA <3    <16 considered normal

(no actual number given just less than 3)

 

Immunoglobulins IGA   0.38 flagged as low  0.45-2.37 normal

 

Ferritin 36.6 flagged low 40.0-200.0 normal

 

Neutrophils 9.1 flagged high 1.7-5.0 normal

Lymphocytes 0.6 flagged low 1.9-4.3 normal

 

Thoughts, thanks ?

Well, you got the PED GI referral.  That is terrific news!   Please ask that the complete panel be ordered.  Kids and weird older adults like me, can often fail the TTG tests for reasons not clearly understood by celiac experts.  

Keep eating gluten daily or all celiac tests (even an endoscopy) will be invalid.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I just hope this all goes fast because I want my daughter to feel better. I will definitely ask for a full panel. ???

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:
