It looks like they ran the anti-tTg IGA antibody test. It was negative. Because it was negative they did not run the anti-EMA IGA antibody tests.

I do not see anything about the anti-gliadin IGA antibody blood test in here.

This is what happened to my daughter too. They only ran the anti-tTg IGA test. When it came back negative, the lab did not check the anti-gliadin or anti-EMA IGA antibody levels. I had asked for all of them to be run. Her PA said great news, she doesn't have Celiac. I am not covinced. My daughter is 7 and wants some lab proof. So I ordered her the enterolab stool test and am awaiting results. My symptoms started at around her age and by 10 I was horribly ill. Good luck.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
