Welcome to the forum, nataliepike!

Looks like you had two celiac antibody tests run, the tTG-IGA  and the DGP-IGA, that are used to check for or diagnose celiac disease. Both were negative. The other measurement that was taken was of total serum IGA which, if it is lower than normal, can create false negatives in the other tests. The total serum IGA was not low so what they are saying in the note is that they can have confidence that the two other antibody tests not being false negatives.

So, the tests that have been run so far do not indicate celiac disease but do not rule out NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. The two share many of the same symptoms and NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease.

As @trents mentioned your blood tests are negative, and if you originally got those tests done because you have symptoms when eating gluten then your next step would probably be a gluten-free diet for a while to see if that helps with your symptoms, but this would be your choice, since you don't seem to have celiac disease.

      @nanny marley, Have you been taking any vitamins or mineral supplements besides Vitamin D? What are you eating?  Do you eat processed gluten free foods?   You said your symptoms included fatigue, body hair loss, low vitamin d,  Restless Leg Syndrome, Raynaud's Syndrome, contact dermatitis, rhinitis, body aches, TMJ, heart palpitations, sleep issues, vomiting,  dizziness, frequent bowel movements. There's eight B vitamins and Vitamin C that are water soluble.  When one has diarrhea for extended periods of time, those water soluble essential vitamins are flushed out of the body easily, and there's little time to absorb any more water soluble vitamins or fat soluble vitamins from food moving through that fast.   It's easy to become vitamin deficient with diarrhea.   Deficiency in Vitamin B1, Thiamine, can result in Gastrointestinal BeriBeri which can also cause diarrhea, fatigue, and abdominal pain.  Deficiency in Vitamin B3, Niacin, can cause diarrhea as well as skin rashes, and sleep issues.  Deficiency in Vitamin B12, Cobalamine, can cause diarrhea and Restless Leg Syndrome.  Deficiency in Vitamin C can cause diarrhea and skin rashes. Thiamine deficiency can also cause heart palpitations, sleep issues, and vomiting.  Have you had your thyroid checked?  Hypothyroidism can cause body hair loss, as can iron deficiency.   I've experienced serious nutritional deficiencies which my doctors did not recognize as such and blamed me for making stuff up.  I've experienced these nutritional deficiencies.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  Vitamins are special organic compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Without these vitamins, our bodies cannot function well. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals that are lacking on the gluten free diet.  Blood tests for deficiencies in the B vitamins are not accurate.  Taking a B Complex and looking for health improvement is best.   I've got serious vision problems and would really appreciate punctuation.  Thanks P.S.  I take a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12 and Pyridoxine B6 for back pain from crushed vertebrae.  I understand back pain.  These vitamins together relieve pain.

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Sanna King · Posted

      King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour contains wheat starch, but has had the gluten removed. According to the FDA, it meets the FDA's gluten-free standard of less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. Has anyone here tried to bake bread from this? If yes, did you have a reaction? Thank you in advance for your time and attention.
