Borderline Positive Bloods?

i have been perousing through the topics and reading all these topics about help diagnosing people's results etc., and finding it overwhelming - particularily because my paed didn't give me the values......she called me and said they were positive for celiac and they were referring me to the gastro - called later in the day and said not to stop the gluten yet as specialist said the values were borderline........

so if a result is borderline does it mean there is just an intolerance there and not the disease - i guess what i am getting at is something should be making the results abnormal - so if not celiac then what?

my ds is 2.5 and having many symptoms - we are seeing allergist as allergies are almost a positive just not sure exactly what they are yet and getting results from a sleep study done as ds has major issues with sleeping etc.,

thanks for your time,

beflustered mom of logan

Any result in the positive level is positive. If you are going to chose to biopsy, and that is your choice, you do need to stay on a full gluten diet. If you are chosing not to biopsy then you can go gluten free. However if you are doing the biopsy and have been gltuen free and are challenging for a month or two and you become very ill please be sure to let your doctor know right away.

Also biopsies are hit and miss so even if the doctor says that the endo was fine you should still do the diet for at least a couple of months strictly to see if it helps.

      This is my current exhausting battle with the medical field. As Ive mentioned in past I was diagnosed in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy and was told i was celiac and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.NOPE not at all in fact im worse thanks to being disregarded and my new word that was given that fits perfectly medically gaslight for over 30 years.I was not informed by anyone about the condition other than its a food allergy. Long story short if it wasn't for this website.I would be so much worse. I have been glutenfree since 1994 and was diagnosed with many other foods in 2007. I have stayed away from those items, except dairy sometimes I'll cheat when I know I'll be home a few days.My work history is horrible thanks to my digestive issues. I had my past primary for 25 years and everything im going through, he danced around celiac disease. My last day of employment was March 08, 2023 I was a bus driver and took pride in that.I get sick easily and when covid hit me and I stopped taking tramadel to push to give my bloated body a break, I haven't " bounced " back.Though not that well before but worse now.I applied for disability because yet again I was fired solely on health, which by the way seems to be legal because no lawyer wants to help.I was denied and my primary stated let me fluff it up a bit.FLUFF IT UP A BIT?He has been my doctor for 25 years! All that Im going through was basically ignored and not put together. I switched primary doctor and seeing new gi and its EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING because they are staying all my test came back clean, good, its normal. Except THANKYOU LORD JESUS HLA DQ2 is positive that Itty bitty tiny little test of positive FINALLY VALIDATION RIGHT.No, Im still struggling and fighting its not fair

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.

      I got beaten so bad playing dominoes that made me realize that I was probably eating something with gluten, the culprit (Simms premium cracked pepper STEAKSTRIP). Now I can look back and see all other symptoms: irregular stools, bad sleep, desire to eat uncontrollably, bad mood, etc. Gluten really does a job on my short-term memory.

      I can confirm this. I no longer have any issues with Iodine since being strictly gluten and dairy free.
