Blood work and DNA test results. Stressed

Was just curious of what others think of my results? According to the Gastroenterologist I have Celiac Disease based on these findings and reported symptoms. Should I have any doubt? I question everything and would feel better knowing for certain. I have experienced symptoms that have come and gone since beginning a gluten free diet 4 months ago. 90% being digestive issues. Constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, and gut noises are common. I have experienced these issues lately and just started week 2 of not feeling great after what I assumed was a glutening through cross contamination. It just hasn't seemed to subside and now I'm examining everything I put in my body to see if it is a culprit. I just don't know what to do. I'm anxious and stressed. Afraid to eat a lot of different things for fear of more issues. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Welcome to the forum!

I agree with your doctor...it looks like a solid positive result. You have the higher genetic risk markers for celiac disease, and your DPG is slightly positive, while your TTG results are very high.

You likely won't start feeling better until you are 100% gluten-free, and if you eat out this can be difficult to achieve. This article may be helpful:

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      By ShadowLoom · Posted

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.
