I was being treated for wheat/gluten intolerance had blood work and skin test positive for corn on skin test 5/6 blood work was negative for corn/maize and skin and blood work negative for wheat and gluten. I’ve been eating wheat and gluten again for three days and been fine. I was diagnosed wrong has this happen to anyone else?!

Can you tell us more about the blood screening they did for wheat and gluten? Were these allergy tests, or was this a celiac disease blood screening? I ask this because if it was an allergy test then it would not detect celiac disease.

They did blood work for wheat and gluten and skin pricking on my back. They also did blood work for celiac and the  genetic testing. Which was all negative. But on the skin  pricking it showed a 5/6 to corn and blood work showed no on maize. Corn starch really will set my heart off racing if I eat anything with it but seem fine if I have some things in the corn family.

In your initial post here you said: "I’ve been eating wheat and gluten again for three days and been fine. I was diagnosed wrong has this happen to anyone else?!", and the subject of your post is "Not Celiac."

Were you diagnosed with celiac disease? It sounds like you were, but it's not very clear.

I was not now just everything that had gluten in it that I ate my heart would raise but everything that I ate had cornstarch in it and I was still having symptoms even going gluten-free, but I did test positive for corn allergy, which was five of six and the doctor said it wasn’t very high, but I was still showing symptoms of being  to Gluten-free my symptoms went  full-blown to corn but I can eat corn derivatives with out much trouble. Mainly corn starch and high furtose corn syrup is a huge NO

So to be clear, you were never diagnosed with celiac disease, and your blood test for celiac disease was negative.

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.

Also, feel free to share your celiac disease blood test results here if you would like to. Sometimes the actual numbers reveal more than how the doctors interpret the results to you. For example, if your results showed 19 and the cut off for celiac disease was 20, then perhaps you do have an autoimmune response to gluten. Were you eating lots of gluten daily for at least 6 weeks before the blood test for celiac disease? If not, this could lead to a false negative result.

I was not eating gluten. But was still having issues and really seems to be corn that bothers me and everything that is gluten free almost has corn. I did test positive for corn and negative for wheat.

I understand, but I just want you to understand that if they also did a test for celiac disease while you were not eating gluten, you could still have it even though your test was negative--your result could be a false-negative.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Found coffee or coffee pods that contain gluten

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
