Need Help With Test Result!


Guest Zara

Recommended Posts

Guest Zara

I had some tests done last year by LabCorp. I didn't have a good experience with my doctor so I got a copy of the results for myself. Can someone please help me with interpreting the results? I thought I was tested for celiac but now I'm not sure...Thanks!

Immunofixation Result, Serum

An apparent polyclonal gammopathy; IgG. Kappa and lambda typing appear increased

Immunoglobulin G, Qn, Serum 1794 H mg/dL (average 700-1600)

Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 10 H mg/dL (average 70-400)

Immunoglobulin M, Qn, Serum 87 H mg/dL (average 40-230)

Right now my symptomps are bloating, cramps, belching, constipation. Also, I don't know whether this is relevant but I had a bad ekzema when I was little (it went away after treatment with ointments). Thank you!

looks like maybe you are IgA deficient-----and there is no celiac test among those. my son is IgA deficient, so he has to have a total IgG serum test and a tissue transglutaminase IgG test done when we do his celiac testing. (he has the celiac gene, so he will have yearly testing)

Thanks, Chrissy! Do I need to tell my doc that I'm IgA deficient and thus need a more comprehensive celiac test, or will he do that automatically for a new patient?

I'm asking because sometimes doctors get upset if a patient already has some info so I don't want to make him feel like I'm telling him what to do (even if I am :rolleyes: )

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?
