Hi guys so im back again although my doctor said my biopsy was negative 4x postive ttg test and symptoms im on 22 years of age yet

folic acid deficiency anemia for years.

also back in 2013 my TSH LEVEL was 3.7

this year my TSH WAS  3.1

after doing some research that's considered hypothroid

so ive been hypothyroid for years aswell and im not being treated for it as it is in range.

looking back my doc found an old test and dating back to 2013 which was also positive on ttg but they forgot to inform me so i have had this for years most likely.

 

my question do any of you have neuropathy? Like burning prickly skin oins and needles and numbness. 

 

Now please bare with me what im about to say is rather embarrassing or hard to explain but .. my neuropathy pins and needles burning stinging prickly skin nerves, get worse after i have finish orgasmig. So the. Ore orgasm i have the worse i will become to the point where i am n onger functional and i am in agony anxious depressed and tired when i etip having orgasms im after like a month of no orgasm i wil be fine and completely functional and my neuropathy will go away by alot and if i avoid it for a long time my neuropathy will disappear  i always feel hot i also have low folic acid levels extremely fatigued always had bowel issues but this neuropathy is weird? Anyone out here?

I'm not sure about the sexual part of your question, as I've never head neuropathy described this way, but I do have some issues with it in my feet, which do tingle when it happens. I've been supplementing B vitamins and especially B12, which has been helpful.

Since you have had high ttg scores I will assume that you are on a gluten-free diet, and if so, just be sure it is 100% gluten-free, otherwise the neuropathy could get worse.

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
