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

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.

      Hello, I am feeling frustrated. I have hEDS and lifelong digestive issues but my GI PA is very focused on my celiac panel and I just want to make sure that she should be focused on that because completely changing my diet seems to have worsened my symptoms.  Symptoms are constipation, diarrhea, and acid reflux with spicy foods and certain foods like tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions. I also don't have a gallbaldder as it was removed almost a year ago. This also exacerbated my symptoms. I did have joint pain from hEDS but that was already treated with low dose naltrexone about 4 months prior to going completely gluten free. Endoscopy was abnormal but inconclusive; basically showed some inflammation - which common with hEDS. I don't have any vitamin deficiency.   Celiac Panel Results: TTG-A <0.5 U/ML Reference Range: 0.5-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-A 72.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.2-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 TTG-G <0.8 U/ML Reference Range: 0.8-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-G 24.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.4-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 IgG-A-M Results: IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, QN, SERUM 165 MG/DL Reference Range: 87-352 MG/DL IMMUNOGLOBULIN M, QN, SERUM 164 MG/DL Reference Range: 26-217 MG/DL   What are your thoughts, internet? Are there any questions I should be asking the PA? Thanks!

      Help. I’m spiraling. Years of extensive symptoms:  What could this be? Years of: Mildly elevated alk and alt Fatty liver Random days of feeling like I’m coming down w flu but no fever and nobody else in house sick Intermittent diarrhea Severe abdominal distension Long history of cavities and enamel deficiency Sound sensitivity Anxiety and depression Low libido Sun skin allergy Frequent fatigue ended up seeing PCP because I looked 8 mo preg. Started gluten-free diet then celiac serology negative. SW GI Dr dx me w celiac as I had been in bed for 3 days after eating gluten after cutting. GI said not to do biopsy because it was clear what was going on and added to chart. My spiral is not seeing anywhere this is done and want to see if anyone else has dealt w this. If not celiac idk what else I will do. Family history or celiac as well as a death related to this.
