getting bloodwork done next month...  checking levels after 5 months....   and getting thyroid checked...  and basic blood work...

he was surprised at how few symptoms I had.. He said he expected me to be going to the bathroom 3 - 5 times a day rather than my normal 1 time a day ...

he said based on the amount inflammation i had at diagnoses he estimates 6 - 12 months for me to improve.......

he wants me to take a basic multi vitamin and vit D and b12 for a year...

he said the medical field doesn't know too much about celiac even today...

He's correct that many in the medical field still know far too little about celiac disease, testing, treatment, etc. You may want to go with a full B-Complex multivitamin, as well as mineral supplementation (get your iron levels checked before supplementing with iron).

The average time for a celiac to heal is 2 years.

      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?

      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.
