Just trying to find out if everyone who gets tested gets back a positive finding...

Well, my dd came in under 10 on all gluten sensitivity panels, so yes we have had a negative.

Hm. I'm guessing though, that despite your test results, you still get sick if you consume gluten? (or why would you still be on the boards when you can be out eating everything in sight :)

That's disconcerting... I would hope that the tests are accurate...

Hi, my husband had negative blood results,but 'positive' biopsy showing villous atrophy.

I'm not sure I understand why,and it makes my husband think the docs have got it wrong-especially as he's seen no improvement in health on the gluten-free diet.

It's all so confusing!...

My results came back under 10 on all counts but I had been eating gluten-free for 5 months and reduced gluten for two years before that. I do have a gluten-sensitive genotype, but not Celiac.

my test results came back negative as well, but i had been on a gluten free diet already for at least 6 months. i get sick whenever i encounter gluten so the doc said that it was safe to just stay on the gluten-free diet.

Yep, I was gluten-free for 2 and 1/2 months and high normal on Enterolab's tests. I e-mailed Dr. Fine the day I received his report (saying that while my report was within normal I could try a gluten-free trial if I was having symptoms) to get his recommendation. He wrote back that day advising me to go gluten-free because I had such a resolution of symptoms gluten-free and two copies of DQ1. I have the neurologically presenting genes (DQ1) that can reek havic with the entire body while showing negative on blood work (sometimes) and biopsy (almost always) and I was gluten-free at the time of testing.

Because of this conservative yet professional and completely up to date response I think Dr. Fine is exceptional. He does report negative results and yet doesn't miss the up to 50% of Celiacs that serology and biopsy does. I know this is controversial and blood work has its place but so many of us are missed by current testing methods (says Dr. Alessio Fasano with the Center for Celiac Research in his May 6th meeting) and some genes that predispose towards gluten sensitivity aren't even recognized by GI's even though they account for 2% of documented Celiac disease and 20% of gluten ataxia.(Open Original Shared Link).

People do test negative with Enterolab (while on a regular gluten diet), but you won't find many on this board. The only ones who will still be around are probably parents of kids who have tested positive, and they would most likely have at least one gene...

I have heard people say that when they had their whole family tested at least one member tested negative. But there is also that most of the people getting tested are symptomatic, which increases the amount of positives. If you didn't have symptoms, and didn't have family members who had it, why would you spend the money on the testing. Both the symtoms and the family propensity towards the disease increase the likelyhood of the results being positive.

God bless,

Leslie,

Does that mean you have two genes predisposing you to gluten sensitivity - like say 0501 and 1301 for example?

two copies of DQ1.

and

I have the neurologically presenting genes (DQ1) that can reek havic with the entire body while showing negative on blood work (sometimes) and biopsy (almost always) and I was gluten-free at the time of testing.
what does that exactly mean? Talk to me like I'm stupid :)

Thank you very much.

My husband's tTg came back 6.5 and his endomysial ABY came back negative; he has no symptoms at age 71 with the exception of osteoporosis which was diagnosed 8 years ago. What does a low tTg indicate? I am ready to have Dr. Fine's testing done; we have a 21 year old daughter blood and biopsy diagnosed 1/05 and an autistic grandson age 12. I have 2 genes, DQ2 and DQ1, blood tests negative in 2000, all symptoms of DH. Any ideas?

cindyann50,

From your description, the osteoporosis clinches it for me. I'd bet he has celiac disease. I believe gluten sensitivity will be the cause of nearly all osteoporosis problems. How's his iron?

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
