Help Interpreting Lab Results


My3B's

Recommended Posts

My3B's Rookie

I was wondering if some of you could weigh in on your interpretation of our results:

Me : Sypmtoms: IBS, hypothyroid, ashtmas, migraines, depression, fertility issues, keratosis pilaris

Gliadin IGG 2.2 ref <20 neg

Gliadin IGA 2.7 red <20 eng

Reticulin antibodies positive 1:20

Tiss. Transglutaminase 0.9 reference < 4

Endomysial ab IGA - negative

My daughter age 7 1/2

Symptoms: very slow growth, size of average 5 year old, intermittent diarrhea, "moody" days, very chatty (sometimes symptom of mild ADD) , keratosis pilaris

TTG - IGG 1 ref 0-15

TTG - IGA 2 ref 0-15

Gliadin IGG 1 ref 0-15

Gliadin IGA 2 ref 0-15

Endomysial IGA - neg

Reticulin IGA - neg

My son, age 5

symptoms: ADD with problems on school, especially afternoon, occasional weird rashes, not sure if it means anything but recently had acute appendicitis and an emergency appy.

TTG - IGG 1 ref 0-15

TTG - IGA 2 ref 0-15

Gliadin IGG 3 ref 0-15

Gliadin IGA 1 ref 0-15

Endomysial IGA - neg

Reticulin IGA - neg

So I am confused, these would all seem to be essentially negative but does even the low numbers for antigliadin mean we are producing some antibodies and therefore should go gluten free? I am leaning towards this but was hoping for a diagnosis so we could get some help regarding school lunches etc. Some school systems are accepting gluten free regarding ADD/ADHD but we would be the first in our school system gluten free and it will be a very uphill battle without a firm diagnosis.

If anyone has had similar results or could give me some guidance I would appreciate it. I am going to seen a GI regardless and will probably end up trying the biopsy but will probably opt out of this for the kids.

Thanks for your help

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
