Tissue transglutaminase IgA 0.28 Index <=0.90 Index

<=0.90 Index

 

 

My doctor was of little help. I had H Pylori treatment done, and seems to have eradicated the issues. However I'm suffering from chronic bloating now. I have a feeling it is SIBO, or something in the small intestine.

The result seems negative me (I am not a doctor).  Did your doctor run the control test (Immunoglobulin A or IgA)?  If you are IgA deficient, the other IgA tests are invalid.  Consider getting the rest of the panel: EMA and DGP.  Not all celiacs test positive to the TTG tests that you took.  Have you seen a GI?

No control test ran. I am having trouble getting a referral to see a GI specialist. Do you know if Kiaser test for EMA and DGP? When I asked my doc he said we don't have test for Celiac disease.

Do you have any family members with celiac disease or other autoimmune disorders like Type 1 Diabetes, thyroiditis, etc.  do you have any autoimmune disorders yourself?   Any lab tests that are off (e.g. low hemoglobin, iron, elevated liver enzymes, or very very low total cholesterol)?   It might make your case stronger for a referral. 

At Kaiser, only GIs are allowed to order full panels which 8ncludes the DGP and EMA tests.    That is because the TTG catches most celiacs and it helps save money.  Were you eating gluten every day prior to your test or had you already tried the diet (all celiac disease testing requires you to be  on a full gluten diet 8 to 12 weeks prior to a blood draw.  Try to push for the referral.   Ask for it it writing via the patient portal or a letter — not in person.   State your symptoms and your concerns nicely.  

Good luck!

      Vegetarians and vegans with celiac disease

      I am wondering if there are any vegetarians or vegans on this forum. I’ve been vegan for 15+ years and am just finding out I likely have celiac disease (blood panel done, need biopsy). My favorite foods—outside of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds—I will likely have to give up. Anyone else?

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      Fiber Supplement

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.

      @Rejoicephd, I'm not a doctor, but I experienced severe thiamine deficiency.  Your symptoms seem really familiar.  Malabsorption is a real thing that happens with Celiac.  A multivitamin is not going to prevent nor correct nutritional deficiencies.    Doctors do not recognize nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is not recognized often.  Caused by thiamine deficiency, high dose thiamine supplements or IV administration with other vitamins, minerals and glucose under doctor's care is needed.   Thiamine deficiency is found in anemia.  Thiamine deficiency in the kidneys can result in electrolyte imbalances and cloudy urine.  Thiamine deficiency can cause high blood sugar which can cause cloudy urine.  Dehydration can cause cloudy urine.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.  Discuss the possibility of Gastrointestinal Beriberi with one of your specialists soon!  Just to rule it out.  I'm very concerned.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.   Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/#ref3 From Section 3: "In conclusion, TD limited to the gastrointestinal system may be an overlooked and underdiagnosed cause of the increasingly common gastrointestinal disorders encountered in modern medical settings. Left unattended, it may progress to wet or dry beriberi, most often observed as Wernicke encephalopathy.". . And... Refeeding Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK564513/
