Pregnancy And Screening

Hi everyone. I am pregnant and did the first trimester screening for down's syndrome. It came back as a positive screening - 1:200. I was wondering if this positive result could be conected to my celiac disease. I do happen to have a high ANA as well. Which is often connected to celiac disease. But i was thinking whether this too could have an effect on the result.

Did anyone with celiac disease get similar results...

I can't answer your question about the connection to celiac disease, but wanted to point out that the triple screen does have a fairly high rate of false positives. The numbers I have seen are between 19-24% of tests are falsely positive.

I am pregnant too and my triple screen came back positive (1:180) for DS - I went ahead and did the amnio and it came back ok though. I too thought it might be from the celiac - I was just dx in May and got pregnant in Sept. before my intestines could heal. I had all kinds of wierd blood tests prior to my dx that were a result of the celiac, so why not this too :) Good luck and don't worry - it is a very high rate of false positives.

I'm glad to hear your baby is healthy and doing well. Thanks for the positive words. I am not going to do the amnio because of personal reasons. I am hoping my next ultrasound gives some more information. Take care Anna

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
