So I am new to this website but not to a gluten free life. So I have been suffering for years of pain and recently it has gotten worse and now I also have GERD. My doctor always told me I had IBS. I was finally tested a couple years ago and it came inconclusive for wheat /gluten maybe celiac disease. But anyways to the point, I have had a gluten and wheat free lifestyle for a while . I did it for almost a year. My problems and pain with food still continued. I was told maybe it will take a while. But I never totally felt better like everyone says you will. So one of my doctors now says I could have this wheat allergy but also with IBS. I am wondering has anyone else been diagnosed with this? I give up wheat and gluten ..ect but the other foods still upset my stomach? I am supposed to be going to get more testing done in a month because thats the closest they can get me in. Thanks for reading :)

It sounds like you're probably intolerant to more foods than just gluten. Did gluten-free help you at all? I would try eliminating dairy, soy, citrus, peanuts etc to see if that helps.

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
