I have no idea!!! If I figure that mystery out I will let you in. :D:D:D

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. This will be a quiet Bday as the city has both ends of my street blocked off so I have no excuse for not being lazy and just putting in the garden in my roses. :)

I did something yesterday to celebrate that I would reccommend to any and all. As today is also my favorite kitties birthday, he is 12 (notice how bold I am with his age). I like to give him something special on his birthday to eat and then I thought back to when I was poor and needed to rely on food banks and how wonderful it is that I am able to give him something special now. It wasn't that long ago that I struggeld to feed all people and pets. So yesterday I took 10% of the gift money I had recieved and went and bought pet food with it. I brought it down to the local food bank and they were greatly thankful. They said most folks don't think about pets when they donate and they often have to tell folks with pets that they have nothing. She wasn't exagerating the shelf was empty. It gives a good feeling inside to know that today when I sit down to my birthday dinner there are some pets that will be able to eat today also.

It felt so good I may try to do it on a regular basis. No reason not to have 'special' days all year long and so much more fun than going out and just buying some trinket to celebrate.

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Rejoicephd, I found the Autoimmune Protocol diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) extremely helpful in getting my health back.  The AIP diet is very strict, removing any possibly irritating foods and allowing time for the digestive tract to heal, then other foods are added back in with less risk of reaction.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Weakly positive DGP IgA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Cat M, welcome to the forum! I noticed you are low in ferritin and thiamine as well as other nutritional deficiencies already.  Deficiencies in iron and thiamine affect your body's ability to make antibodies.  Since you do have symptoms, nutritional deficiencies evidence of malabsorption, MTHFR and one celiac gene,  I'm suspecting you do have Celiac disease.   Can you consult a gastroenterologist?  Or ask your doctor to do so.   Gluten Sensitivity can be a precursor of Celiac disease in people with Celiac genes.  Since you've already got symptoms of Celiac disease and evidence malabsorption, an endoscopy with biopsies would be beneficial.   It's can be so frustrating getting a diagnosis because doctors are not familiar with Celiac disease.  Sending you encouragement! Keep us posted on your progress!
