I got some test results

I got test results back from a leaky gut/gut immunity and candida stool and saliva test. Here are the results:

I have very low slgA (gut immunity) and a very high yeast colonization in my mouth. The gut immunity is the main one i'm concerned about and have always suspected. I met with  nutritionist yesterday and she put me on a food plan and gave me a supplement with the mixture of prebiotics, probiotics and digestive enzymes in them and also an iron supplement. I've been on it since yesterday and actually feel a bit worse today so i'm getting worried already. I really want this to work. She seemed confident i could heal my gut in no time though. Is there anyone who's gone through a similar situation that i can talk to or just anyone with some knowledge on this sort of thing?

Hi,

The way to test for celiac disease is to get a full celiac panel first.  That tests for the antibodies to gliaden, a protein found in wheat.  If there is a positive on one of the gliaden antibodies tests, then an endoscopy is done to check for celiac damage to the small intestine.

There is no medically accepted stool testing for celiac disease.

      Help understanding test results after negative biopsy

      By englishbunny · Posted

      Thank you so much, Scott.  This is very helpful. Yes, I was eating that amount of gluten before both of the blood tests and especially in the weeks before the biopsy. Could there be anything else causing the elevated DGP-IgA other than celiac of NCGS?  For example Hashimotos?  I'm wondering if the fluctuating iron issues could also be caused by NCGS?

      Help understanding test results after negative biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      HLA DQ8 Positive - This means you have the genes to get celiac disease, which ~40% of people have as well, although only ~1% develop the disease. GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA) 96.8 HIGH <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected Since your biopsy was negative (you're correct that at least 6 samples should have been taken), this could mean non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. My question is, were you doing a proper gluten challenge before your tests and eating at least 2-4 slices of wheat bread worth of gluten per day in the 6-8 weeks before your blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before your biopsy? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is very doubtful that prescriptions medications would be cross-contaminated. It's not impossible, but most companies make many different medications and have very strict protocols for their manufacture.

      I would not say that milk is bad for you, but for those who have lactose intolerance, milk allergy, etc., it's best avoided.

      Can anyone offer any advice/help please!

      By trents · Posted

      @Sammy Web, I'm sorry if I offended you. I was just seeking some clarification. Colloquialisms vary from place to place in the English speaking world. They can even differ from place to place in a given English speaking country.
