Just Got Test Results


GraceE

Recommended Posts

So I had the blood tests run, except they didn't do the tTG, which I keep seeing is the most accurate. The day after the bloodwork I went gluten-free and have been doing much better. I do know that last week I accidentally got some gluten and didn't realize it at a restaurant (until after I had eaten it - it was hidden sauce in something). About 15 minutes after eating just a couple of bites I was so nauseated I had to leave the restaurant and never ate another bite. For about 24 hours I had an upset stomach, gas, etc.

Anyway, I got my blood tests back and they were SO negative! I see a lot of people's results on this post and they're at least something, but here's what mine were:

Gliadin peptide, Ab, IgG - 5

Gliadin peptide, Ab, IgA - 0

Is that strange for them to be so low? Even down to a zero??

Now I'm confused and second guessing whether getting sick the other night from the gluten that I confirmed that I got was just a fluke. I'm feeling better on the diet so I guess I'll just stay on it. I've even tossed around going back on gluten just to see what happens but that freaks me out! Not sure why I even consider it.

After I knowingly went gluten-free, I realized that I had unknowingly cut most gluten out of my diet anyway. Maybe you weren't eating a lot of gluten in the months before the test?

Have you had a biopsy???? Sometimes people have neg blood tests. In my situation(I was just recieved results April 1st---happy april fools day to me!LOL) my test results were very positive but they want me to continue on my reg diet until after teh biopsy so we can have true resilts and then go gluten free. You need to do what is best for you! If not having gluten makes you feel better....do it! Reguardless of what the tests say!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
