I want some idea about why all celiac test results that I made were negative, more the one that tested positive was the anti-endomysium igm.

Result anti-endomysial IgM reagent at 1: 5 dilution.

Well, I have several strong symptoms for celiac disease, I've had serious female hormonal problems.

I've been gluten free for two years, I realized that I got better, I had problems that began to resolve that I did not even imagine was possible.

I stopped with gluten and found out that I have several food allergies that I didn't even know I had, I've always been underweight, couldn't catch weight.

In that time I realized that I had and I'm still recovering from low body fat, and that, I suspect, I had signs of malabsorption.

The test for celiac came back negative. You don’t have celiac. 

Move on.

You can not say that!  Some celiacs are seronegative.

Not only that, we know little about this person and other tests she may have had.  I have never had a positive EMA or TTG and I am biopsy confirmed.  

@Karen20  I have not seen the EMA IgM for celiac disease.  Can you explain more?  Were you gluten free when tested?

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
