Results?

Hello All -

I had my panel run more than a week ago and still haven't heard anything back. My doctor had said that since the lab had to send the test out, it would take a while longer than in house tests and that he thought it'd be about a week. I also allowed some extra time for post-holiday backup (I had it right after new years) but I'm getting anxious.

I'm just wondering how long it took for all of you to get your antibody tests back.

My doctor and I agreed that regardless of the results I'm going to have an endoscopy but we're waiting for these to come back first. I'm getting impatient, especially because it seems that my symptoms are only getting worse and I'm anxious to begin my exclusion diet but I need to wait until after the biopsy is taken! :unsure:

Thanks,

Phedre

It was about a week for me! I would be calling and asking about them if you still don't have them.

I did mine testign teh same way. We did the blood tests and scheduled a biopsy right away before we even got teh blood work back.

Yeah, I'm going to give him a ring tomorrow to at least check the status of things. Basically all of this testing is just to make things official before I go on the diet - I'm still going to do it anyway to see if it helps, especially after reading about all the people here who tested negative and then improved on it!

Thanks :)

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
