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.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
