IgA   IM. 1.1.    1.50  g/l  norm- 0.7-4

 

Transglutaminase Ab ( IgA )  IM.2.6.1  0.3 U/ml  <7.0 ( borderline : 7-10, positive: >10)

 

Gliadin Ab ( deamidated, IgG ) IM.4.8.3 

0.7  U/ml   <7.0 ( <7  borderline: 7-10, positive: >10 )

 

P.S. 

But I didn’t eat gluten for 3 months and when I went to the doctor, I told him about this, he warned me that I should start eating gluten again for 20 days, but I couldn’t stand it that long. I was only able to hold out for 10 days and on the 10th day, I did these tests.

Welcome to the forum, @Nora Sofian!

None of the test results you listed are positive and you are not IGA deficient. Unfortunately, being gluten free for so long and then returning to gluten consumption for only 10 days may have rendered the testing invalid.

Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" after three months of being gluten free are the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of bread) for at least two weeks.

But let me ask you, did your symptoms improve while off of gluten for three months? What are your symptoms when on gluten? Have you considered the possibility that you might not have celiac disease but NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity)? They share many of the same symptoms but NCGS does not damage the villous lining of the small bowel and so there is not test for it. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease.

My symptoms were: bloating either diarrhea or constipation heaviness in my stomach after eating, even if I haven't eaten much redness of the skin under the eyes and in the corners of the lips irritation, aggression, insomnia, joint pain, numbness of hands greasy stool swelling under the eyes (fluid stagnation in the body) As soon as I eliminated gluten, after 2 days I felt an improvement, and over time all these symptoms went away. But when I started eating gluten again for tests, my diarrhea did not stop, almost all the symptoms returned, now I don’t eat gluten again, but the redness on my face still hasn’t completely gone away.

Try taking collagen to repair your intestines. There was a children's doctor back in 1970s who gave B complex injection to heal lining. Also selenium helps with inflammation. A liquid B complex by quantum nutrition can act like a shot

Thanks for advice @JB007 I’ll read about it.

      So, you had both and endoscopy with biopsy and a colonoscopy. That helps me understand what you were trying to communicate. No, no! It never occurred to me that you were trying to mislead me. It's just that we get a lot of posters on the forum who are misinformed about what celiac disease is and how it is diagnosed so I need some clarification from you which you were so gracious to give.
    • barb simkin
      I had both the genetic genes for celiac.  My gastroenologist advised he also took a biopsy during one of my colonoscopies and endoscopy and advised I had celiac disease, along with stomach ulcers from my esophagus stomach down to my small bowel. I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report.  I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large bowel. I was on a strict diet for months following.  I am sorry if I didnt define how I was diagnosed with celiac disease.  I am sorry if you think I was misleading you. I also had to pay $150.00 for the genetic testing.

      So, I'm a little confused here. I understand you to say that you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this correct?  You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity". Just so we are clear about the terminology, there is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They are not the same but they have overlapping symptoms. Celiac disease causes damage to the small bowel lining but NCGS does not. NCGS is often referred to in short form as gluten sensitivity. However, people often use the terms celiac disease and gluten sensitivity interchangeably so it can be unclear which disease they are referring to. Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has one or both of  the genes that have been most strongly connected with the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. This makes the genetic test useful for ruling out celiac disease but not for diagnosing it. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because it doesn't permit the scope to go up into the small bowel where celiac disease does the damage. They use an endoscopy ("upper GI) for checking the small bowel lining for celiac damage.

      I did nor read the chocolate pkg as it was of fered to me and I ate 2 pcs. I do know that only very dark chocolate and and a very few others are gluten free. Most alcohols contain gluten. I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test. After looking on the internet about my sufferings I insisted on the gene trsting which showed positive for gluten insensitivity and a biopsy on my next colonoscopy that also showed positive which could not help the damage done to my small bowel. So I very rarely have a glass of wine

      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.
