Test Results

Hi, I'm sure this topic has already been covered, but I was just wondering if anyone else had a positive tissue transglutaminase iga antibody test but negative biopsy? My Doctor determined that because the biopsy came back negative, that I don't in fact have Celiac's disease. What else could it be if it's not Celiac's?

It is quite possible for damage to get missed with the biopsy. How many did the doctor take? He should have taken about 6. Also is the IGA test the only test he did out of the celiac panel? As far as I know a positive result in that test is specific to celiac. Did the doctor tell you to do a strict trial of the diet? If not he should have. Do read the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section and get yourself strictly gluten free. Some doctors will diagnose based on relief of symptoms on the diet and your antibodies going down. Ask any questions you need to about all you need to keep yourself safe as being gluten free involves more than just the foods you choose. I hope you are feeling better soon.

      British Coeliacs: Marks and Spencer's have launched a Gluten Free Colin the Caterpillar Cake.

      Brilliant news for British Coeliacs! Colin was launched in 1990 so I am fortunate in that I was able to try this amazing chocolate swissroll cake before my diagnosis. But the good news is he has now appeared in the Gluten Free aisle at M&S, and also is available home delivery through Ocado. https://www.marksandspencer.com/food/made-without-wheat...

      Insomnia help

      Very helpful @knitty kitty. Thank you. I am trying to remember what vitamin so alarmed my GP and I have a feeling it was A or E. I remember reading the pills contained well over the 100 per cent RDA of whatever the vitamin was. One thing I'd love to ask you that has always intrigued me. One day when my anxiety was completely through the roof...

      @trents Good question. We are strict at home, although I have to admit I've eating the odd thing that turned out to have been made in a shared facility. But that is very unusual for me, Therefore I have concluded that eating out must be the issue, which I do a lot more of now. But I do need to put it to the test, and I hope to do this by not eating...

      Very helpful @knitty kitty.  Thank you.  I am trying to remember what vitamin so alarmed my GP and I have a feeling it was A or E.  I remember reading the pills contained well over the 100 per cent RDA of whatever the vitamin was. One thing I'd love to ask you that has always intrigued me.  One day when my anxiety was completely through the roof.  I 'felt the fear and did it anyway' - a phrase other anxiety sufferers may be aware of, which I found a powerful tool in my recovery -  and visited a friend's house, even though I felt so wretched.  For some reason I craved milk and drank two whole pints of milk in quick succession while I was with her - to this day I can't think why, because I don't usually drink milk 'neat' - I like it in tea or coffee, or hot chocolate.  But I distinctly remember within a couple of hours feeling absolutely fine again for quite a while.  I've often wondered was it down to this milk, which I've since understood contains quite decent levels of B12.  Would that have really worked so fast?

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      By melthebell · Posted

      Thanks very much for taking the time to write this. I have been pretty worried so appreciate reading any advice. Yes, the endoscopy will include a biopsy, and we have hopefully found a good pediatric gastro to guide us through it all.  Will also run the HLA typing - I have the swabs ready to go.
