Complete Blood Panel

Hi,

I'm going to a GI doc tomorrow and I read in here somewhere recently that there is something called a "complete celiac blood panel" which can give you a very strong idea of whether or not you have celiac disease. I can't seem to find where I read it. Can anyone send me a link? I think it was 4 tests. I want to go to the doc tomorrow prepared and ready to defend myself. :) (I lost faith in doctors a long time ago).

Thank you!

Caryn

The most commonly used tests are:

Gliadin Antibody (IgA and IgG)

Reticulin Antibody

Tissue TransGlutaminase (Also an antibody test, I think)

I'm not sure whether the last 2 are IgA or IgG ... does anyone else?

This is the full coeliac panel:

Anti gliadin (AGA) IgA

Anti gliadin (AGA) IgG

Anti-Endomyosial (EMA) IgA

Anti-Tissue Transglutiminase (tTg) IgA

Total Serum IgA

Good Luck!! :)

My husband just had a complete blood work up and received his results. The nurse said his numbers should have been between 0-9 and my husbands was 19. Can anyone explain this range that they gave him?

He is going in now for an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Everything I read says if the blood test is positive then the biopsy will be positive. However when my son was around 2 they said his blood work came back positive but his biopsy was normal. Now I am scared that my son really does have it.

Any advice

      Help with genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain 02:01. Since your child has two copies of the beta chain (02:01) but only one full *05:01 alpha allele (the other appears truncated as *05), this suggests they are heterozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 rather than homozygous. The term "permissive for celiac disease" means your child has genetic susceptibility but not necessarily the highest-risk genotype (homozygous DQ2.5). Since celiac disease development also depends on environmental triggers and other factors, further testing (such as antibody screening or biopsy) may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. Consulting a genetic counselor or gastroenterologist can help clarify these results and next steps.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.
