Blood test result questions


Chthoniccorgi

Recommended Posts

I got my blood test results back but I won’t hear from the doctor until this next week at least. 

 

My total IGA was normal

My TtA IGA was a weak positive

My DGP IGA was a weak positive 

My endomysial IGA titer was 1:40

 

The weak positives were both just under being positives. 

 

What do these mean and does anyone have an explanation as to how to read the endomysial IGA titer? Just not sure what the 1:40 means. 

 

my tta IGA was a 9

DGP IGA 28

You have some positives (though weak), so you should move forward and see a Gastroenterologist for an endoscopy to obtain intestinal biopsies to help determine a diagnosis.   Keep eating gluten daily until all testing is complete.

      She used to take supplements, but her abdominal pain is so debilitating that she hasn't been able to continue.  Her primary care team has been suggesting liquid supplements rather than pill form to help.  They just drew a lot of blood Friday and we are slowly getting all that work back.  I will definitely check into thiamine!  Thanks!

      They have not done that yet.   We are looking at some other treatments to help. And you are correct.  The tickborne illness has been a wild ride.  Our whole family has been battling different tickborne illnesses.  Its expensive and exhausting.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.
