Hello!

I had a blood panel done 5 years ago  for celiac disease. At the time I was suffering from large bulky stool, comstipation(since age 9), and underweight for my age group(9 yrs old). When I was 15 I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes which was cause by damage from familiar pancreatitis. Up till age 25 I exhibited yes the same symptoms. Recently I’ve been diagnosed with prancreaous incificiancy. I am to take creon with all my meal. Down side to that is that it makes my blood sugars go heywire. Currently I’m experiencing more hard large stool(like when I was younger), extreme bloating after meals, gas, burping, extreme pain in center of my chest, under ribs on both sides and kidney area on both sides of my back. Nausea and no vomiting are also common. I’m currrently not gluten free and eat a well balanced meal. I have a dietitian appt scheduale s for next month to manage the creon issue and a wellness visit with my doctor. My question for this group would be should I be retested?  My primary who originally ordered the test stated it was negative but I could still get the biopsy done if I wanted further confirmation. I attached the report below.  

Your opinons will be helpful thanks!

Hi,

The tests should have a range of possible values with them.  The interpretation of the tests depends on knowing those ranges.  Can you post them?

It looks like you only had some of the celiac tests.  I don't see deamidated IgG listed?

That's what I thought. No ranges were given from the dr report. I also noticed tht same test missing. I may ask my mother who is a lab tech for further clarification. Also I may ask my pcp for further testing due to the missing IgG.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By RMJ · Posted

      In testing for celiac disease total IgA is run just to be sure you’re not deficient (in which case the TTG IgA results would not be reliable). Different labs may have slightly different normal ranges, but the units are usually the same and the results can be compared.  In your case, what is meaningful for celiac disease is that you were not deficient in total IgA for either test. Different labs use different units for the TTG IgA test and there are no conversion factors to turn one into the other. In your case, the labs have another difference - one uses a weak positive category and one doesn’t.  The two results really can’t be compared. In each case you’re slightly into the full positive range for that test/lab so in reality your antibodies might not have jumped up at all between these two tests.

      Gluten Free Oats

      Does this mean those could raise IgA and TTG IgA in celiacs?

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      One lab said normal range for IgA is 45-325 and TTG IgA anything above 15 means positive for Anitbody    For this one my IGA was 415 and TTG IgA 16.3    The other lab 3 months later said IgA range is 75-425 and TTG IgA anything below 20 is negative, 20-30 weak positive, 30+ positive.  For this one my IGA was 456 and TTG IgA 30.2 CU

      Gluten Free Oats

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73!  About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion of the celiac community cross reacts to and still be able to produce meaningful products. I would also add that it is not true that companies catering to the gluten free community put oats in all their products. That is a gross exaggeration. It is true that oats are found in many gluten free products. But I understand that you are frustrated in the sense of many of the gluten-free products that you would like to consume contain oats. There are many in the celiac/gluten sensitive community who feel the same way about dairy and soy which are also common ingredients in gluten-free products.

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By Mushroom73 · Posted

      Hi,  I was diagnosed over 30 years ago at the Univ. of Iowa. I also cannot tolerate oats. I find Nugo Dark bars are very good. But, the MOCHA uses real coffee beans and has caffeine. Kind bars with oats are also very good.  Really hope this helps.
