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

For the Reticulin IgA and IgG it just says Negative and Neg<1:20

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. 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/

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof.  I think it was from eggs.  I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them.  I was defient in B12.   My heart is pounding and it won't stop.  Not sure what to do.   I don't have much support other than this forum.    Colleen
