Celiac Disease Blood Serology Question?

I have been diagnosed with Celiac , with both blood tests and an intestional biopsy. My question stems from being on the York Laboratory web-site. They say that they have 2 tests to check for celiac disease. One that is a finger stick (or IgG) and one that is a cheek swab (IgA). I called their 800 number and talked with a customer rep and explained that I wanted to have my daughter tested for celiac. I wanted to order one of these tests for her. The problem I am now facing is that my OWN medical records have shown my blood tests came back negative for the Anti-Gliadin Iga Elisa and the Anti-Gliadin IgG Elisa. Therefor I am assuming that these two tests are not 100% accurate for diagnosing celiac. My OWN celiac panel also had Anti-Endomysial IgA IFA and of course the Anti-Human Tissue Transglutaminase IgA ELISA, (both positive). I am just alittle confused as to why they can list these tests as being available to test for Cellac, when in fact I would have tested negative, based on just these 2 tests. I am not sure if I am making much sense, so excuse me. I am just alittle concerned about the viablility of the web-site and their info. I am also resigning myself to the fact that I have to have my daughter tested with a full-blood draw in order to get a correct diagnoses. If anyone can shed some light on this for me or post any comments, it would be much appreciated...

Thanks!!

wow, Im wondering the same thing, I was thinking on using the York tests. Did they offer a full blood test like the one your suggesting?

I've been reading about the sorbitol H2-BT breath test for celiac disease. It sounds much more accurate and sensitive than the blood tests.

as far as I know, York doesn't offer the full blood serology. You can only get that from a doctors office or one of the hospitals that deal with celiac disease. Wow, I haven't heard of a breath test yet?? Any other info on that???

Thanks

I recommend Enterolab for celiac testing. York is really for food allergy testing. If you have a food allergy for wheat, the York test will catch that.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      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...

      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...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.

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.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
