Blood test results advice

[Effalent]

Hi

I’m new here so apologies if this isn’t something I should be asking but I’d be grateful for any help with my coeliac screen results. I was screened due to having very low b12 levels. My GP said they were normal but my symptoms remain and now they’ve stopped my b12 injections so started to feel unwell again.

my results were as follows  they didn’t quote normal levels so unsure as to whether my results are completely normal/borderline? Thanks for your help!

Tissue Trans IgG:

1.0 u/mL

Normal range:

No range

Tissue Trans IgA:

< 0.1 u/mL

Normal range:

No range

Unfortunately without the reference ranges there isn't a way to be sure. Is there any way you can get these ranges? It seems strange that they would be excluded from your results.

Just FYI, approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

So, for clarity's sake, did you start to feel unwell again only after B12 injections were discontinued or had you already begun a gluten free diet and then discontinued it?

Thanks both. Don’t think I can get the ranges as it shows not listed

i began to feel unwell again after my b12 injections were stopped but tbh I never felt that much better when I was on them. I asked for the frequency to be increased so they did the celiac screen but then stopped my injections completely. I haven’t started a gluten free diet as was told not to whilst waiting for test results

It makes sense for them to have you keep eating gluten until all tests are completed, and it sounds like you may now be at that stage (but ask them if the plan on more tests).
