I am confused about what my Endo. dr. said about my test results he ordered. I am going to a GI dr. next month.

The Endo. said that Neg. is 0-3 and I was a 4. What does this mean? He also gave me an option to go on ahead and have the Endoscopy before I went to the GI too.

I'm assuming that you had the antitissue transglutaminase blood test done. That test indicates whether you have 'active' gluten sensitivity going on. You are just over the normal range. But most authorities would tell you what we've all heard before. Just like you can't be a 'little' pregnant, you also can't be just a 'little' gluten intolerant. You either are or you aren't. Usually by the time this particular test shows up positive at all, there is some damage already done. From what I hear everyone saying on this board, it is likely you may already have celiac. Some people go on and do the scoping for an official diagnosis, but many just take the test as enough evidence to go gluten free. Read all you can on this board and you will hear many opinions about how to proceed from here. :)

Oh, excuse me.....WELCOME TO THE BOARD! :D

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
