Confusion Over Test Results

[rickkman]

I have had IBS and migraines most of my life. I tried a mostly gluten free diet for a year and then after going off the diet for about a month, I had and endoscopy and biopsy. The biopsy was negative for celiac. But my lab results 3 years ago and my repeat labs this year are as follows:

Gliadin AB IGA 5H U/ML Normal range 0-4

Gliadin AB IGG 10H U/ML Normal range 0-9

Endomysial IGA Negative

On the mostly gluten free diet I felt better overall but no real change in the headache pattern. Any significance to the lab results? Or is there something else I might be missing or that I should be looking into?

Thanks

If you did a mostly gluten-free diet for a year and were back on a full gluten diet for only a month, then that would have caused a negative biopsy. Still, your blood work is positive.

Since you have never been 100% gluten-free you are still reacting enough to have positive blood work and are still doing damage to yourself. Which might also be the cause of your headaches.

I suggest you completely, 100%, eliminate gluten immediately in order to get better. Being mostly gluten-free is not enough.
