Ok Testing Options?


Melusine

Hey

I'm going to a new gp this month. Previously I'd said I wouldn't do a gluten challenge as hey, it hurts! and I'd rather not go through that and I /know/ when I've been 'had'.

On the other hand..It turns out revenue will cover part of the cost of gluten free food...and as we all have to eat on a daily basis, that adds up.

I'm going to see if I can get a diagnosis without tests, as I've been gluten free for 6 months now, which is long enough I believe for most tests to be negative?

But just in case....What are my options? Blood tests? genetic tests? tubes down my gullet?

Cheers!

Melusine

      Hi, last year i tested for celiac  my Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev was 20.3 U/ml but my Endomysial antibody IgA level was negative. I again tested just recently because i have symptoms of fatigue, bloating etc and my Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev was 26.5 but i again tested negative for my Endomysial antibody IgA level  I have now been referred so are waiting for an appointment where i suppose they’ll do a biopsy? Wanted to know could this mean i have coeliac, because its only ‘weakly’ negative considering the range is 0.0-14.9 or could it be something else

      Yeah I can increase the amount to 500mg/day and see what happens. I know I haven't been consistent enough in supplementing vitamins.

      Not yet, been waisting time on western doctors. I went yesterday to my pcp thought we were on same page, I gave him the downplayed confirmed celiac medical note from bay area. As a patient I shouldn't have to Chase my medical, my medical SHOULD stick to us.Im am so exhausted and angery how medical has been, my whole way of thinking of our system is completely changed.i wish I can upload my letter from KB

      @Jmartes71, Have you tried a naturopathic or holistic doctor?  Some posters in the past have commented theirs were more helpful than mainstream doctors.

      @HectorConvector,  Have you tried taking 500 mg of the Thiamine Mononitrate that you have left?   Thiamine Mononitrate may not be as helpful as other forms of thiamine, but since that's what you have on hand.    Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even at high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency.   No harm in trying it. Neuroplastic changes in the brain may be caused by thiamine deficiency.   These changes can be seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I googled "Neuroplastic Sensitization syndrome and thiamine pubmed" and see for yourself what it says.   Try taking 500 mg Thiamine Mononitrate and look for health changes.
