:o I thought I had been diagnosed with celiac back in dec. of 07. I wondered why when I would go to the doctors RN. for my check ups, ( also had other problems ) she would say, so have you been diagnosed with celiac. I thought that was a little wierd. I asked her if she could write me a letter to my insurance co. to see if I could help with groceries, as our company will do that sometimes. When I received my letter from her , it said i was suspected of celiac disease and tested positive for the following blood tests, HLA-DQB1 DQ2 DNA. Does anyone know if that means it is just an intolerance? Thanks , sister golden hair

That was a genetic test which does not diagnose Celiac. It is possible your Doctor would dx with symptoms and genetic testing, but that would be unusual. Most doctors will run antibody blood tests:

tTG-IgA or tissue transglutaminase-IgA

AGA-IgG or Antigliadin IgG

AGA-IgA or Antigliadin IGA

Total IGA

And then depending on the results of these, a doctor usually orders an endoscopy.

Did you have any of these tested?

Did you have symptoms? Did you go gluten free? Did symptoms resolve?

      Intolerante al gluten en el embarazo

      Decir la verdad, no, yo no me doy cuenta de unas complicaciones que puedan resultar de una incidente aislado de comer gluten cuando una este embarazada. Pero si, hay complicaciones de comer gluten regularmente en una mujer embarazada que tiene celiac. Bastante. Nuestro consejo sera NO LO HAGA! En mi opinion – y yo no soy una medica – nada le va a pasar despues de una incidente, sobre todo si ella no esta comiendo gluten regularmente.

      Hola gente! Soy nuevo por acá, mi señora está embarazada y es intolerante al gluten, ayer comió sin querer unos fideos qué tenían gluten, lleva 3meses de embarazo, les consulto, ¿sabrían en qué puede afectar qué haya comido de manera aislada gluten a su embarazo? Muchas gracias de antemano, estamos super asustados!!

      Prepping for Testing advice?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I also read this which some recommended as well: NASPGHAN recommends eating roughly 2 servings of gluten, equivalent to 2 slices of wheat-based bread, daily for 6-8 weeks prior to testing.
