Blood Test, Any Knowledge About Each?

I was mark for the following blood test:

Test

CBC (inc. diff + plt) [L]

Profile

Comprehensive panel [RB]

Miscellaneous test

Blood C & S with ARD

(Two tubes of blood was taken, if this may be useful to understanding what everything is being used for)

___________________________________

How would the following test be helpful for me. I have self dianogsed as gluten intolerance and yeast intolerance. I did a Candida spit test, which came back positive. I suspect there could be something wrong with my thyroid, along with being malnutrition and pre-diabetes. Would the following test alert to anything I'm skeptical of having/ do have?

-Thanks

Also any suggestions on how long it will take to get results back? ( Mayo clinic)

Mom mention she seen a glimpse of the previous celiac test I had and it appears the testing site is Mayo Clinic.

Hmmm. Not a medical professional but that looks like more normal blood tests (complete blood count, etc.). Don't see the usual celiac-related things: IgA, IgG, etc.

Here is some info from University of Chicago's Celiac Disease Center where they discuss the different tests and what they mean: Open Original Shared Link

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the answer, I actually got my blood results back Friday and now know my white blood cells are below normal ( 2.9) and C02 of 32 ( about two or three more things a little out of the average range). I'm thinking now they will start running other test to figure out why it's below normal, and actually believe me about my symptoms. I will find out Tuesday.

the celiac tests are tissue transglutaminase and antigliadin and endomysium antibody, and not the things you mentioned....can you check if they were done too.

I think the blood results can only aware them about gluten intolerance. Actually looking at Mayo Clinic for reasons one white blood cells may be low, it covers lots of things and especially the conditions I mention I may/ do have:

gluten intolerance, yeast intolerance, malnutrition, thyroid problems, candida, pre-diabetes, and could possibly have a autoimmune condition ( or something ) etc... that was the main cause of me having all these health problems, such as being celiac ( as I was able to self diagnose as gluten intolerance).

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
