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!

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
