With a result that high it means you are Celiac. If your biopsy results should come back negative do the diet strictly anyway. Damage can be patchy and get missed and positive blood work trumps negative biopsy. Hope you are feeling better soon. Do be sure to read the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section as that has a lot of good info on what you need to do to say safe.

Can you have antibodies in your blood with a wheat allergy

ravenwoodglass Mentor

No an allergy would not cause those antibodies to be high. The small intestine is very big and damage can be easily missed. Do get on the diet strictly and then in 6 months or so get your antibodies retested. They will likely have come down and your symptoms improved.

I agree with Ravenwoodglass.  I also understand your frustration.  ?

The actual proof  is how you may feel on the diet.  Give it a solid six months.

What then get another blood test will I have to be on gluten for that or just get tested

ravenwoodglass Mentor

You would not need to be back on gluten for that test as it is to see if the diet is helping bring the antibodies down. That combined with resolution of symptoms is diagnostic and some doctors will give a diagnosis based on the results despite a negative biopsy.

Try and stick with as much whole unprocessed food as you can for now. Veggies, fruits, potatoes, rice, meats and fish etc will help to aid healing. After you are feeling better for a bit than go add in gluten free treats and convience foods. If you haven't been much of a cook before ask and look at the recipe section for ideas. Best to avoid or limit dairy until you have healed and personally I would also avoid soy as those two items are common intolerances for many of us. Add them in when you have been feeing better to make sure you are tolerating. I hope you are feeling better soon but don't get discouraged if you have some ups and downs. Be sure you have checked the Newbie 101 thread as it has a lot of good advice to help keep you safe.

Does anybody have trouble with chicken I did was up all night feeling sick

No, but I might suspect the herbs used to season it.  I have a garlic intolerance that has never resolved.  I once became very ill after consuming copious amounts of delicious gluten-free fried chicken that was garlic free and I made it!   I think sheer gluttony got me.  How was the chicken prepared?  Did you purchase wrapped in the store or was it in a meat case near “stuffed” pork chops that the butcher prepared?

I brought it all wrapped up from Sainsbury's it was free range

My guess is that the chicken was okay unless you recently developed an intolerance to poultry (unlikely).    Was it packaged in the store or at the factory?   What do you eat with it?  What did you consume during the day or prior day?  Often it can take a while for antibodies to build up.  Not everyone reacts instantly.  

You said you thought you were glutened last week.  If I were glutened, I can expect to have abdominal pain digesting anything, even safe foods for weeks.  As soon as any food hits my small intestine, the pain starts and ends when it exits the small intestine.  I always feel fine in the morning and dread having to start eating.  I eat soft easy-to-digest foods like soups and stews.  It can take a month for me to digest without pain after a glutening.

 When a celiac gets glutened, the reaction does not resolve within a day or so.  No, the body flares-up and the reaction can last for days or weeks (everyone with celiac disease reacts a bit differently).   Does that make sense?  

You could still be reacting to your exposure from last week which is already adding fuel to the fire (your TTG was a 100 when you were diagnosed a month ago) and is still probably elevated (decreasing but not normal).  

Give it more time.  The diet has a steep learning curve and healing does take months and months, if not a year.

      Medication

      By trents · Posted

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.

      Medication

      By Julie 911 · Posted

      Good day! New members here and I have a question about medication. My gastroenterologist made me stop some medication during the gluten challenge beforenthe screening test but I have a little surgery tomorrow and I need to know if I can use tylenol for half a day or if it will give me false results using it.   Thanks

      Buckwheat

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Buckwheat

      By trents · Posted

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.
