Celiac or Gluten Intolerance What's the difference

Years of puzzling symptoms that I've been trying to figure out and just recently I took a Celiac test (blood test) that shows I'm gluten intolerance. 

Test measured

IgG 599

IgA 181

Transglutaminase 2 IgG .56

Transglutaminase 2 IgA .43

DGP IgG .29

DGP IgA .29 

 

in the intestinal Permeability Panel I scored moderate to high risk on some of them

A non Gluten Wheat Panel test most of the scores were in moderate range. 

So I'm wondering if there is a difference to just being gluten intolerance or is it the same as celiac?  At the time of the blood test I was eating gluten but not a lot of it.  Should I further investigate celiac. One of my symptoms with it is anxiety that starts in my stomach and it happens from food.

Hi!

What were your lab ranges?  Which test was considered positive?  

Celiac disease is a gluten intolerance.  When gluten is ingested, the body starts attacking the small intestine causing damage.  A diagnosis is usually confirm with biopsies via endoscopy by a Gastroenterologist.

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
