Waiting for possible diagnosis

Hello, I am currently waiting for my 2nd appointment with my Rhumatologist. After 1st appointment she ran a battery of blood test & x-rays of my whole body. My deamidated gliadin IGG is 43, my tTG IgA is 64 and my Immunoglobulin A is under 5. I was recently diagnosed with Hashimotos with thyroiditis. I’m expecting a pre diagnosis of Celiac Disease and hopefully a biopsy for final diagnosis. Sadly I’m eating all the gluten I want because I know I’ll have to be giving it up

Welcome to the forum!

Could you please share the reference ranges for each of those tests? This would be the cut off level for positive, and each can vary depending on the lab used.

With this extra information we might be able to comment on your results.

Continue to eat a significant amount of gluten until all tests are complete or the testing may be invalid.

The deamidated gliadin IGG range is 0-19 so my 43 is a moderate to strong positive, the TTG IGG range is 0-5 so my 64 is high positive. The reference range for immunoglobulin A is 87-352 so my <5 is nonexistent. My thyroid peroxidase (tpo) was 109 and the range is 0-34. I also had 2 strong positive antibodies for the Lupus screening. I’ve been having symptoms of chronic fatigue, muscle pain, joint pain, hair loss, insomnia and severe heat intolerance for a few years now

Thank you, I plan on keeping my gluten intake high for now

      gluten-free supplements in Canada

      By Kate1990 · Posted

      Hi,   I've started taking calcium citrate supplements from Webber Naturals. It says that it contains no gluten, but not that it is gluten-free. I've reached out to the company by e-mail and they have assured me that it is gluten-free. However, I think I'm reacting to it. I've searched everything else I consume and haven't found any possible source of contamination. I've been looking for other supplement brands that would be certified gluten-free and safe and have found a few options, but none of them ship to Canada. Does anyone know where I could buy calcium citrate supplements (apparently calcium citrate is the one that causes the least constipation, and this is an issue for me). Thanks in advance!

      Please help, is this Celiac?

      By Karen Rakhshan · Posted

      I am so sorry for your long-term pain and suffering. My symptoms are very similar to yours. Diarrhea for seven years now. Two doctors told me to take Metamucil. It didn’t help. Stomach pain, bloating and terrible nighttime diarrhea got worse and worse. I only stumbled upon Celiac as a possibility through a 23andMe genetic test which indicated I had the genetic marker for it. I went to my GP asking for the test and was told sure - I’ll give you the order, but you probably don’t have it. Guess what?  My blood work was off the charts positive. So high of a number, in fact, that the gastroenterologist I was sent to confirmed me even before a biopsy.  The gastro visit was just last week. I’ve been gluten free for a month now. Small improvement so far, but I’m hoping to continue healing.

      But there will still probably be times when you will get together with your brother and father in their home when food will be involved. You need to think through how you will handle that. In the meantime, separate your stuff from their stuff and keep it under lock and key if necessary.
