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

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
