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 ?

      Here's a link... Thiamine Deficiency Causes Intracellular Potassium Wasting https://www.hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-intracellular-potassium-wasting/

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.
