I recently got my lab work done and my gluten number shot all the way up to 24. In October, it was a 3. I haven’t ate any gluten since but I was trying to think of what has changed in my diet since then. I changed yogurt brands recently. I now use great value. Do you think that even tho there is no gluten in yogurt, it could just be the brand? I’m so lost and confused!

A quick look at one of their yogurts (I don't know which you bought) indicates that it's naturally gluten-free:

Most yogurts are naturally gluten-free. 

You may need to look closely at everything you eat to be sure it is 100% gluten-free, and be sure not to eat out, as that is the likely culprit.

What Scott said is true, but this is a highly processed yogurt (not very natural in my book).   What is all that stuff in it and why?    Because it is private labeled for Walmart, you can not contact the manufacturing company to determine if the lines are shared or not, etc.   

I do buy yogurts that are labeled gluten free (certified gluten-free or just gluten-free) or just those plain that contain only milk.  For example, Chobani is labeled gluten free.  You can be assured that other fruit toppings added and the manufacturing processes insure that gluten in not in the supply line.   Kirkland (Costco) plain Yogurt contains just milk and naturally occurring bacteria which is a by-product from fermenting milk.  While certified gluten-free, (even if it wasn’t),  just plain milk yogurt is not suspect.  

So many yogurts now have granola or cookies and cream flavors.  You have to think about that.  How well do they clean manufacturing lines?  

Best to go back to your old yogurt brand.  

I guess what I am trying to say, is do your best to avoid gluten and just move forward.  You can go crazy trying to determine a gluten source.  But my best advice is to not eat out for a while.   Probably most gluten exposures happen in restaurants (shared kitchens) and not from processed foods like that Walmart yogurt (rare).

Even though Walmart will mark it gluten free, they can’t guarantee that it is. It can be cross contaminated very easily. So be very careful when you buy Great Value! It makes me angry when they mix their brand with the other gluten free stuff. It’s a lie. And it could make someone really sick!

In the USA, if "starch," "modified food starch," ect. is listed in the ingredients, if it made from wheat, it must be so stated. Otherwise, it will be made from some other plant source, usually corn. You may be reacting to the casein (primary protein in dairy) or some added ingredient. Dairy products do not naturally contain gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
