Bloodwork report

I recently posted about my bloodwork looking for advice until I talk to my doctor. I have added a photo this time. With only one test slightly high would the possibility of celiac be eliminated? Thank you.Screenshot_20210606-191421_Drive.webp.f47ccbef0da65db5a30ced9fc11215f0.webp

Unfortunately having just one positive test does NOT eliminate the possibility of celiac disease.

Personally I think your results indicate that you're more likely to have celiac disease, than not. It is a positive test, and this "weak positive" category seems to be something newer, as most TTG test results are just positive or negative for it. 

Were you eating gluten daily, at least a slice of bread, right up until your test? If not, the test results might be lower than normal. 

What did your doctor say? At this point they should probably recommend an endoscopy.

Thank you for your response. Yes, I was eating gluten daily. Some sort of bread or crackers daily at least. 

I just got my results through my portal on labcorp on Sat so I have not spoke with my doctor yet. Hopefully soon.

Thank you for your response. I hopefully will get a call from the doctor soon. I got my lab results online Sat.

You may also want to ask your doctor about the genetic tests for celiac disease, although this would not diagnose celiac disease, but would reveal a family genetic propensity for it. Also, at the very least your "weak positive" would, to me, indicate gluten sensitivity. Currently we have no tests for non-celiac gluten sensitivity, but the need for a gluten-free diet to treat it would be the same. About ~12% people have gluten sensitivity, while only ~1% have celiac disease.

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.

      @Zuma888,  I'm so happy you're feeling better!   Thanks for letting us know of your improvement!

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.
    • trents
      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2
