Igg Positive For Gluten But Question

I had an Elisa test done several months ago and the positives are represented by "class" numbers 1-4. There is a number before them: pg/ml where <1.00 is negative and the 4 is >30.00 Is anybody familiar with this Elisa test?

Ok, most of my positives are a 1 or 2. I have one 3 that is egg. I have a 1 for gluten so I am understaning that I have issues with gluten but they aren't terrible right?

I have searched the web looking for anybody else with this same test and I just can't find anybody who's had this same test! I have nobody to talk to about any of my results (non-doctor).

So, I went gluten free over 2 months ago and alot of my ailments have disappeared: chronic fatigue, anxiety/panic attacks, depression. I know when I have eaten gluten because I get panic attacks at night when I am sleeping but the problem I had last night was, I had panic attacks again until 2am. I was super careful yesterday. What gives???? I am so frustrated!

Hi and welcome. :)

Sorry, I can't help you with the test but I have seen it mentioned here and I am sure someone will be along who can help you.

I am glad to hear that so many issues are improving for you on a gluten free diet. :)

I don't know what could have caused your panic attack last night since you were being so careful. ;) Is there any chance there was cross contamination?

This is a great resource, feel free to ask anything.

.

It's possible I suppose. I know I am rather naive with these questions as this is rather new to me but with such a low positive for gluten, would I get that much of a reaction? I didn't expect it, if I had accidentally eaten gluten.

Again, I'm not very helpful as I don't know what the numbers mean.

But I thought I would at least bump this thread up again. :)

Are you keeping a food journal? Many of us have found it very helpful in tracking our reactions.

Not right now but I have played with the idea but I am thinking that my memory isn't as good as I thought it would be.

All the more reason to. :)

I realized that for more information on the Elisa you could use the search function at the top of the page. Just type in Elisa and you'll see the check for this forum only, hit go and lots of responses come up. :)

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
