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.

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain
