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. :)

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
