So i recently had a baby and 3 months postpartum I started celery juicing and after juicing my stomach would be in so much pain. So I stopped it for a while and a whole month no pain or issues. I made an apt with a GI doctor to just get my blood work checked everything came back great except the Ema it was 1:20 he said it was strange because all the other Celiac panel test were negative my Ttg and the genetic screening even. So I made an apt with another doctor for second opinion she stated that it’s so low positive she wouldn’t be worried especially since across the border everything is negtive. I currently don’t have any stomach pain but it’s literallt driving me insane that I had a positive screen for my endomysial screen. If anyone can pleaseeeee help me with any insight it would be greatly appreciated !

Hi, Celery is one of the top allergens, so it could be a reaction to celery.

By the way, I merged your two similar threads.  The forum rules don't allow duplicate threads,  They make things confusing.  But no problem, carry on! :)

The EMA test is the most expensive of the celiac blood tests because it is not machine run, but done by humans.  A lab mistake could have been made.  With negative genes, the rest of the panel and symptoms eliminated, chances are you do not have celiac disease, but you can always get retested in six months, if you have symptoms or think celiac disease could be an issue.  

Making dietary changes can have adverse reactions to anyone.  Consuming too much of a good thing can easily make you sick.  Ask my then five year old when I let her consume as much ice cream as she wanted until she made herself sick.  Or think of a vet’s advice about changing a dog’s diet dramatically (e.g. buying a different brand).

Thank you everyone I went for a second opinion just to re do the blood work hoping I can find out a answer. Last week I had the upper stomach pain again but no celery juice since November so I’m at a loss ? but all of my celiac panel including the genetics were negative just that ema which the second doctor said 1:20 is on the low side not sure if that’s true

Since you have abdominal pain, did you see a Gastroenterologist?  It might be something other than celiac disease.    Remember, the EMA is manually done, so greater chance for errors.

yes ! I saw the first one where the results came back 1:20 and saw second it feels like gas pain I had a baby recently and ever since after I had her I started with this new pain. And good to know about the EMA thank you ?

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?
    • Fayeb23
      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
