Emily's Results Are Back!

Emily's results of her biopsy are in and were negative :( but the GI said that the blood test had more antibodies than the first time she tested her. She said that she might develop Celiac in the future. She agreed with me that she could be glutton intolorent or could have celiac just did not see the damage. The GI said she will not dx her yet with celiac but agreed with me to go glutton free for now and see if Emily responds with it. Yea. :D I have a plan now and I can do this with her and get the rest of the family tested pronto. :D:)

I am going to talk to our family dr. today to get a referral to do a blood test for celiac for my self and my other 2 girls. I was wondering witch one would be the best to do. My oldest was tested and I don’t know witch one she got done. I am trying to be pro active now and get a little pushy but I need to know a little more about the testing. I have a copy of the test requisition form and there is 3 tests for celiac on it. Here they are.

1. Prometheus celiaPLUS

5-marker serology panel and genetics combined NOTE: if anti-human tTG IgA, anti-emdomysial IgA, and anti- gliadin IgA are negative, Prometheus CeliaGENE will automatically be performed.

2. Prometheus CeliaGENE

(Genetics only) HLA DQ2/DQ8

3. Prometheus Celiac Disease Serology

(Hu-tTG) IgA recombinant antigen, anti-endomysial IgA, anti-giladin IgA, Total serum IgA, Anti-Giladin

IgG.

Thanks of all your suport.

I'm happy that you have an answer and that her doctor is supportive of a gluten-free diet. It's always nice to figure out what's wrong. I'm woefully ignorant of all the testing, so I can't help you there.

      I'm like Cristiana. After getting glutened, in about two hours I start develop emesis that lasts for two or three hours with intense abdominal cramping. This is followed by several hours of diarrhea. It's like my body is doing everything it can to expel the gluten as it begins to leave my stomach and enter the small bowel. So, I'm not sure how much of it actually gets into my bloodstream to create a systemic effect. But once I get past those initial intense reactions and get rehydrated I feel a lot better. Just a day or two for me. And I should add that I am not a particularly sensitive celiac who reacts strongly to a tiny amount of cross contamination. It takes a decent amount of gluten to produce a discernable reaction in me. The last reaction I can remember having was precipitated by consuming a small appetizer-size cup of soup at a Chinese restaurant that had soy sauce in it. I was careful to choose things for the main meal that didn't have soy sauce in them but overlooked the appetizer.

      Has anyone reacted to Clancy’s hint of lime tortilla chips? The bag says gluten free, but this is the only new food I’ve had recently and I was definitely glutened by something. I know Tostito’s brand doesn’t claim gluten free and these suspiciously taste very similar to how I remember those tasting.

      Hi @Michael McDonald and welcome to the forum. Everyone's experience varies, and I think what you are experiencing is normal, having read a lot of different accounts over the years.  Of course, there is always just a slight chance that gluten might still be getting in somewhere, or that your symptoms might also be down to a gastric virus or food poisoning too, it sometimes is difficult to be sure which is which! But from my own experience, my own reactions have changed over time. Now I react differently to a significant glutening (vomiting, chills, palpitations) and the effects are about 2-3 hours after the glutening.  Sorry for TMI but I think the gluten doesn't hang around in my system as long because I throw up. Before found it took me maybe over a week to feel a lot better.  Although I felt nauseous I wasn't actually sick, so I guess more time for the gluten to hang around in my system.  I would experience chills, dizziness and diarrhea immediately.  Then, bouts of feeling unwell again for perhaps the initial week.  As well as oten feeling just plain weird and out of things.  The thing other thing would be developing a gastritis like sore stomach which could go on for two weeks or more, in the ensuing days.  I would never recommend popping a PPI long-term (unless medically advised, of course,), but time has taught me that a short dose of omeprazole 20mg for maybe 2 -3 days post glutening  helps nip this gastritis pain in the bud.  I take it first thing in the morning, with a glass of water.

      It’s been 3 days so far. I think I might be on the mend, but every time I think that, I go on rewind.  Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.
