I finally got some of my numbers back on my blood work- but, I don't understand it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, since my numbers don't match up with the indicated levels I've found in my research!

My doc is not very helpful at this point and now I'm feeling confused and a little scared that the problem really is just in my head.

My history is of digestive problems for the last 10 years. I went to my doc about a month ago and asked for testing for celiac. He ran blood and did a colonoscopy and an upper GI. About a week ago he sent me a letter saying he found nothing abnormal, except for some small growths in my stomach which were not cancerous and he believes are caused from the prilosec I've taken for 10 years. That's it- he had promised me a definitive answer to the pain and weight lose I've indured for the last 10 years- instead he said nothing was abnormal just keep taking the meds anyway.

I called and asked for my blood levels and they are as follows:

IgA 2

IgG 2

Transglucimine 1

Ttg 2

Immunoglbin A 364

If any of you know a good link or understand these please respond. I am feeling a little more than desperate.

By the way I started the gluten-free diet after testing and have been feeling much better. After finding out about the growths I stopped taking all meds all together and that has also been about a month ago.

thanks

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
