Am I Gluten Intolerant? Check Out My Lab Tests.

I have been getting hives since May 2007. I am seeing an allergy doctor since then. The other conditions I have are hypothyroid and PCOS. The doctor tested my blood for just about everything and these are the only results that are concerning me:

ANA postive with titer 1:640

Endomysial AB (IgA) screen @ negative

Gliadin/Gluten IgG @ 15

<11 negative

11-17 equivocal

>17 positive

Gliadin/Gluten IgA AB @ 5

<11 negative

I have already tried eliminating the usual suspects that may cause hives: detergent, deodorant, shampoo/conditioner, soap, etc. I am negative for nuts and fish/shellfish allergies via blood tests.

When I asked the doctor about the results, she believes I am not allergic to gluten or celiac. I have no other GI symptoms, rashes, joint pain, etc......just the hives.

Do you think I have a gluten intolerance? Are hives related to celiac? Any help would be appreciated.

Why not try eliminating gluten for a month or so and see what happens?

      Meniers and celiac are they related

      Thanks Kitty for your guidance. I will do the test to see if I have nutrients deficiencies and at the same time re organize my diet to see if that helps with my vertigo and other symptoms.

      Yes, Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiac Disease and Meniere's both.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test to check for thiamine insufficiency.  Diuretics can cause excess thiamine loss.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that improves intestinal health.  Thiamine in the form TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) helped improve my Meniere's syndrome.

      Kitty, to correct the anemia I got IV iron and B complex for 30 days. Then my next step will be test for nutritional deficiencies.

      Welcome to the forum, @nataliallano, There's a dozen or so vitamins and about as many minerals that our bodies need to live and thrive.  Our vitamins and minerals can become depleted in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption and inflammation, so we need to eat a nutritionally dense diet, and keep inflammation to a minimum.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      No, not if you've got an official diagnosis already.   Let's continue our conversation on this thread... Thanks
