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: )

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
