Welcome to the forum, @Natosha! For future reference, when you share celiac blood antibody test scores, it is helpful to also include reference ranges for negative vs. positive since there are no industry standards in place. Each lab uses different scales. But, you have told us the results of the testing were negative, so we have the big picture. Looks like you had two tests run: tTG-IGA and DGP-IGA. One that should have been run and wasn't is "total IGA" which goes by some other names as well. Total IGA is important to run because it checks for IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, their individual IGA celiac antibody test scores will be artificially low and false negatives can be...

Hi! I apologize that this is going to be a long post but I am hoping to gain some insight from anyone who knows more about Celiac than I do. About 1 year ago I started have weird neurological symptoms(numbness/tingling, headaches, dizziness). This led me to a neurologist who found no issues and treated me for migraines and sent me to a hematologist. They hematologist also found no issues but asked me if I had and gastro issues ( i had been having chronic diaherra also) and if I had ever been tested for gluten sensitivity or Celiac disease as alot of my symptoms could be related to issues with gluten. This got me thinking about my 23 and me results that stated I was at a...

Thanks for bringing this up again.    That week my doctor sent me for a Carotid Artery scan that came back 90% blockage on both sides.  Short story I had a stent put in right carotid artery. Just now getting back to normal from the Anesthesia. Surgery healed well, but it took until the next day to wake up from the anesthesia. A combination of time and B6.  Anesthesia depletes B6, slowing digestion and peristalsis and is also responsible for my freezing cold toes. These are my symptoms.  As a kid I had weak legs.  But now, 10 minute walk and I can barely move my legs.  I blamed it on the sedentary lifesyle from the general pain, and atrophy was to be expected. And with predisone for...
