Unsure?

I was tested for gluten tolerance in early May and tested positive by only four points. My mom insisted that since I tested positive only a little that I should not worry about it. I decided to get retested this week. I tested positive by the same amount. I guess my question is for those of you going gluten free, how far were you off of the normal range?

I was tested IgA +2 from negitive and IgG, at the very top of negitive. I was just going though the similar thing... see my post "Just a little bit Celiac?". That may help, it helped me quite a bit.

Here was my Dr's thought when I got tested.....

She thought had I gotten tested prior to having my son I would have tested as you did...a little elavated, b/c even prior to having my son I had some symptoms. Pregnancy was my "triggering" event..or so they think. Life stress, divorce,marriage ect can "trigger" the gene.

When I was tested in April I was high;y elevated!!!

If your test was at all postive, even one point it is positive. Even if it had been totally negative it still would not mean for sure you are not celiac. I have always been blood test negative even when close to death and as for the rest of my family they all had low positives, one member was only positive by one point but all have benifited greatly by being gluten-free.

Why'd you get tested? Are you having symptoms?

As far as I know if you blood work test is positive your Celiac, that's what I was told. My real proof was trying the diet and my flu symptoms slowly went away as soon as I stopped eating wheat, rye, barley, and oats. If your having medical problems and that is why you were tested then try the gluten free diet and see how you feel after a couple of months. If the symptoms go away then Gluten is a problem. From what I've read and been told Celiac Disease is not a matter of "just a little bit". There are serious complications that can come if your keep damaging your intestines by exposing them to the gluten.

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Very interesting, @Idnam.  When I was experiencing this problem at its worse, I found high carb meals like lots of rice or too many cookies were a trigger.

      Oh my, I have always had the symptoms for B12 deficiency, which is why I had the blood test that led to my celiac disease diagnosis I had been taking  B vits have been always been amazed that all ,my bloods were perfectly normal! I queried this many times with my doctor as to whether the B12 was active and being absorbed or whether it was just in my bloodstream. They dismissed this idea. And of course I still take them. Thank you so much, what a revelation and really quite understandable,  I am about due for my annual full blood test so maybe I will just stop taking them?

      False tTG3 Test?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @SB04, Have you been checked for B12 deficiency?  A deficiency in Vitamin B12 will cause hives and also raise the tTg 3 IgG level, even in people without Celiac Disease.   You can have B12 deficiency without having Celiac Disease.   All eight B vitamins work together.  Do not supplement just a single B vitamin.   Best wishes.
