Hello,

So I was convinced that I had Celiac. Seemed to me that gluten was making me sick. I went to an allergist and had tons of testing and I am not allergic to any foods. So why do I breakout when I drink beer. And why do I bloat after I eat pizza and pasta.

Can you still have Celiac and have allergy testing all come back fine?

Also.....

I have a lot of other things going on. Are they somehow all related??????

Low B12

Previous history of Lymphocytic Colitis

Chronic Hives

Extremely high levels of Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies normal range 0-40 mine is 1143 (not a typo) Doe that mean I have Hashimotos~seeing an endo in a couple of weeks

IGA Immunoglobuin IGA normal range 84-381 mine is 407~Is this a marker for Celiac

Elevated levels of::: Lipids, liver functions, CRP, ESR, T3, T4

Please help me I am so tired of feeling sick all of the time.

Thanks,

Kara

Hi Kara,

I am sorry you are having trouble finding out the answers to your health problems.

In order to be properly tested for Celiac, you will need the full Celiac blood panel run. Celiac testing is different than allergy testing, as Celiac is an autoimmune disorder. Here is the list of tests you need run: Print it out and bring it to your GP or a GI, and tell them that based on your symptoms, you would like to be tested for Celiac. So yes, you could be normal on allergy tests and most certainly have Celiac.

Taken from the site:

Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG

Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA

Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA

Total IgA level.

Your body makes four main types of antibodies...IgA, IgE (true allergic reactions), IgM, IgG.

So, your IgA doesn't indicate if it was a AGA IgA, or just total IgA.

Lymphocytic Colitis is related to Celiac...as well as many people who have LC do not have Celiac, but find that certain foods aggravate their condition----often gluten. So you could be a non-Celiac but still have a problem with gluten (and/or other foods!)

Thyroid problems are related to Celiac.

Vitamin deficiencies are common with undiagnosed Celiacs, as Celiac is a disease of malaborption, so your body can't process food correctly.

The fact that you have an elevated CRP rate indicates that something is going on...that is a marker for inflammation and often, other autoimmune disorders. I would take all of these results and go to your doctor, and discuss what needs to be done.

I can't say what you do or don't have, but I hope this points you in the right direction for correct medical testing. Let us know what else we can do to help. Best of luck!

Laura

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
