Hello, I received my test results i I am trying to understand them better. These are from my 2012 report. I have been gluten-free for since then and I was doing fine.  But my symptoms are getting worse the last six months, now I get ulcers in my mouth too. I am researching for a different doctor, all this doctor want to do is prescribe me medication.

DGP IgG<0.4

DGP IgA 2.3

TTG IgA 0.2

EMA Iga Neg.

Total IgA 202mg

Celiac Risk Genes:

DQ2.5 (HLA1*05;DQB1*0201) and DQ2.2 (HLA dqa1*020;DQB1*0202)

8 DQ2 Homozygous 31x EXTremely HIGH

Thanks in Advance, FeFe

Labs vary.  What were the lab ranges?  Keep in mind that some 30% or more of the population carries the genes the could develop into celiac disease, but only a very few do.  So, the genes test excludes celiac disease and does not really diagnosis it. 

Are you sure you are gluten free?  Do you eat out?   Eat oats?  Live in a shared household?   You might consider getting retested if you are exposing  yourself to gluten.

The lab ranges?

 

Yes...... But I also I usually do not eat out. until this last two years .... and yes I do live in a shared house hold.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.
