My Tests? Help?

So I have had these symptoms pretty much my whole life. I was born vomitting and my parents took me to doctors and they just said I had gas. I had blood tests for celiac in 2005 FINALLY...had an endoscopy on 1993 and they just said I had moderate fold thickening with associated spasm in the bulb and first portions of the duodenum and superficial erosive process of the mucosa. Whatever that means but no one cared. My celiac blood test says negative but my C-Reactive Protein is consistantly high whenever tested and the Platelets were listed as High according to standard ref. range. A lot of my numbers are the high end of the range and my nutritionist says it means I have a low tolerance for gluten but my GP says no big deal. Is there one particular line I should look for on my lap profile? Can you test negative for the disease but have a low tolerance instead? I am really tired of being sick all the time. Any help or advice would be great...I am concerned for my children also as they are both small for their age and have had a host of problems. Has anyone heard of acne problems from this?

THANK YOU FOR ANY ADVICE!!! I did order a saliva test and waiting for the results that is supposed to show my tolerance for gluten, soy, egg and dairy.

**I should add this my CELIAC DISEASE AB PROFILE:

Antigliadin Abs, IgA 14

Antigliadin Abs, IgG 18

t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 11

Reticulin IgA Ab Negative

Reticulin IgG Ab Negative

I have all kinds of things on here also from Hepatic Function Panel, Basic Metabolic Panel, CBC, Sedimentation Rate_Westergren of 19 etc etc

Every lab has different reference ranges for what is considered normal. Could you please post these, so we can see what your values mean? Because otherwise we really can't tell you anything from looking at those results.

THANKS!

Antigliadin Abs, IgA is 14 and their range is 0-19

Antigliadin Abs, IgG is 18 and their range is 0-19

t-Transglutaminase (iTG)IgA is 11 and their raings is 0-19

I think I have figured no Oats for sure cuz I remember for two months prior to this I was eating Oatmeal almost every morning. I had Oatmeal cookies a few weeks ago and was in bed with a migraine 3 out of the 5 days. Of course as you can tell I love oatmeal. Had pizza the night before last and was in bed with a migraine yesterday and it still hurts.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
