Post the full results with the parameters as different labs can have different measurements.

Sounds like she is positive on all tests run for Celiac. However, do not start the gluten free diet until you have discussed it with your doctor, as they may want to do further tests. Luckily, your appointment is coming up shortly. Use that time to learn a bit about Celiac.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED 2 YRS AGO AT AGE 8. THE GASTROENTEROLOGIST COULD NOT WORK HER IN FOR 5-6 MONTHS SO, I STARTED HER ON THE GLUTEN FREE DIET.

(SINCE YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SO SOON I WOULD WAIT.)

I HAD TO RESTART GLUTEN 3 WEEKS BEFORE HER BIOPSY SO IT WOULD NOT GIVE A FALSE READING.WHICH OF COURSE WAS NO FUN,SHE WAS SO USE TO NOT BEING IN PAIN AND DID NOT WANT TO EAT IT ANYMORE.

THE ONLY REASON I DID WAS BECAUSE THEY SAID HER LEVELS COULD NOT GET ANY HIGHER OR SHE WOULD BE AT RISK FOR SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS AND ALSO, HER TYPE 1 DIABETES WAS BEING AFFECTED ADVERSLEY,YET THEY COULDNT SEE HER ANY SOONER,GO FIGURE.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY HELP,MY DAUGHTER HAS SO MANY DIFFERENT CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS,I AM CONSTANTLY FINDING NEW INFO.

THE DRS ACTUALLY SAID THAT IF THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND THE CELIAC FIRST,THAT SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE DEVELOPED THE TYPE 1 DIABETES.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
