More Chronic Fatigue


Billygean

Recommended Posts

Hi all

Mine's the 'chronic fatigue and coeliacs' post below. I thought I'd write a new one here since there have been some developments.

I had my blood test a week last Friday and rang up the following friday to be told the doctor was out. The receptionist told me 'the results were all within normal range.' But she wouldn't tell me which test they did and how normal.

Since I am so sick of lying in bed and not even trying anything I am going gluten and dairy free tomorrow. My father has agreed to do it with me and my boyfriend when he comes to stay a few times a week. We are hoping to prepare most food from scratch. however when he's busy etc we will need to prepare things from jars. I know to look for gluten/wheat/rye/barley/oats etc in the ingredients but beyond that I'm at a loss. The ingredients are baffling to me, things like 'emulsified soya lectin' and all sorts of words that I just don't understand!

Tips?! I'm in the UK so brands probably won't translate very well.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of specific suggestions, so I'll just post the link to the safe and unsafe ingredient lists:

Hope the gluten-free diet brings all the health and vitality a person could ask for!

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
