Nervous- Upcoming Tests

I decided to finally have the genetic test (HLA-DQ panel) and the blood Ab test after i do a 2-3 week gluten challenge. I'm really nervous about what they might find. only potential diagnostic criteria i have now are the results of the enterolab stool anti-gliaden test - which showed a slightly elevated result (21 on a scale of 1-10 being normal)

I saw a celiac specialist last week and she seems to think that stool antibody tests are only useful in infants and would rather make a diagnosis based on the results of the blood test. my naturopathic doctor doesnt think i have celiacs because i am in otherwise good health and never presented with the classic symptoms.

I just dont know what to think or who to believe. im also nervous about doing the gluten challenge diet- im not sure how i will react to it since it hasnt been in my diet for 8 months.

I never presented the classic symptoms either. I had mild constipation and some heartburn, nothing that made me nervous or see the doctor about. My primary knew of my family history of celiac, I told her of some of my symptons (i think she was prying for me to have symptoms) then had me go to the lab to draw some blood. low and behold...I have celiac.

How did you feel before when you ate gluten? I know I went off the diet after being on it for a year very strict and I felt fine (I know I should never have gone off of it...but I am noW gluten-free again)....although the hard stools did come back. Just be aware of how your body reacts being off the gluten-free diet. Good Luck

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
