Test Results Too

Recommended Posts

I just got back test results and my doctor really wasn't much help in letting me know what they mean. He referred me to a GI to talk with him.

My results are: IGA positive, IGG Negative, Transgluten Negative

He said if my IGG were positive it would be a more clear sign of Celiac but the IGA is not as reliable. What does this mean ? I feel like he is speaking in a different language...

It is really the other way around, if he means that the antigliadin IgA was positive and the antigliadin IgG was negative.

The antigliadin IgG is elevated in more people, so they say it is less specific (but Dr. Ford says those with antigliadin IgG need to go gluten-free too www.doctorgluten.com )

Officially the antigliadin IgA being positive means it is positive for celiac, and here in Europe they certainly would do the biopsy then.

Here in this country the labs do not even run the antigliadin IgG, nor the tissue transglutaminase IgG, unless the total IgA shows IgA deficeincy.

So it is tha other way round.

      So there was no physical, plastic card involved, correct?
    • Francis M
      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they had a systems problem around that time.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.
