I got my tests results back today.

Two out of the three tests he ran, were positive and indicative of celiac :rolleyes:

Not exactly sure how I feel about that - I mean, I feel optimistic, because things can only get better from here, I hope!

It's a very bittersweet diagnosis.....

Wow Jessica! I haver read a couple of your other posts and know you were waiting. Congrats on getting clear results...And I know how you feel. I haven't even had my blood tests yet, but part of me wants them to be positive so that I can put a name to all of the symptoms and suffering.

Good luck with going completely gluten-free! Just think about how much better you are going to feel! :D

I'll definitely post my results one I get them. How long did it take for yours to come back?

Welcome to the club!

There is a learning curve and mistakes will happen, but you'll get the hang of it in time.

Hey Guys, thanks for the replies.

TrillumHunter, thanks for the support. I am glad that I was able to ease into it, before I found out my results, because I was prepared (somewhat) so that helped atleast a little bit.. It's a lot to wrap my brain around though.

Kitt1027, (( Hugs )) I so hear you! Hang in there, I know what a futile process it can be. FYI: It took about a week and a half to get my results back. I had been through the ringer up until that point, and actually wasn't expecting them to be positive because I had already been gluten free for 2 weeks (and my doctor told me that in order to get accurate results, if I am Celiac, I need to be glutened.) I was frustrated and impatient though, so I had them draw the labs anyway :rolleyes:

Congratulations... weird, isn't it. :huh:

When I found out my results were negative back in Nov of last year, I was so upset. It had to do with me feeling like I was starting over again and was totally off with the gluten problem.

A few months ago I got my official Celiac dx based on my genetics and positive response. It was the weirdest justificiation ever. I thought why am I happy to have an AI disease??? But, it's always better to know. Now that you're sure, you can really focus on getting better!! YAY!!! B)

Eventually this will feel easy to you. Yes, the social part will always be tough, but feeling better is great.

Jessica,

I'm glad you got your results. You are so far ahead of the game than when I found out. At least you know pretty much what you need to do. Also, it is great that you found this forum early on. I didn't find it for a few months. It would have saved me a lot of trial and error. There is so much knowledge on this forum. Keep up the great attitude :D

Jenny (AZ via TX), Thanks Jenny! I too am very grateful I found this forum when I did. Although, I've been sick for a long time now, and Celiac is the last of the diagnoses. In a way I wish I would have found this forum sooner, because maybe I would have started getting better sooner than I have, but... there's a reason why things happen the way they do, and whatever that reason is, I am glad I'm on the right path (it seems I am, although, I wish I could trust that without doubt.) Thanks for your support, Jenny :)

lovegrov, Thanks, grov!

lizard00, Yes, Yes, & Yes! It is very weird indeed! It's such a good (and bad) feeling all wrapped up in one, I so relate. I too often question why I'd want to have an illness, but then I think it's not that I want to have an illness, it's that since I have an illness anyway I want to have a name for it, because if there's a name then there's a way to deal with it. That is the good feeling. Ofcourse, the sinking feeling is that it exists at all ... but what is, is .... Thank you for your reply and support :P

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was  layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.

      pdm1981 asks what I was also thinking. That is, refractory celiac disease.
    • pdm1981
      I've been to the Mayo Clinic. Outstanding place. Did they test to see if you might have refractory celiac disease? This may explain why the symptoms persist but what numbers are off the charts? Are they antibodies, liver enzymes?

      Hi Dawn,   Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine.  I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria.  I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction.  Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria.  I haven't had a tetanus shot since, but recent lab results show that I have many timed the immunity required.  Good Luck.  
    • trents
      Since we don't know what you reacting to when you get vaccinated, we can't say whether or not the pneumonia vaccine will cause a reaction. Is there some common ingredient in these vaccines that is causing a reaction. I mean, with many vaccines the antigen is delivered via a solution containing albumin (chicken egg protein). Some people are allergic to chicken egg protein so they can't take those vaccines. That kind of thing. When you say your "numbers are off the chart", what numbers do you refer to? Are you referring to celiac disease antibodies?
