Question About Bloodwork

Y'all have been very helpful on my other posts, and this one is more "technical" in nature I guess... I already know that for whatever reason, I feel better gluten free and that if I'm gluten free for any length of time, eating certain products makes me nauseous...

My questions are this:

1) Blood work showed mild IgA deficiency, normal all else... What is the relationship of that to gluten intolerance/sensitivity? Is there any?

2) Somethings make me nauseous, others dont. Ceral, fine, waffle fine, nutrigrain bars, fine. Wheat bread or yeast rolls, instant nausea. A friend suggested a problem with candida (candida sensitivity? I'm not sure) but that that might explain why certain wheat products affect me and others don't. I should mention that I definitely have autoimmune problems. Have you heard of candida issues and do you agree that could be a factor in my gut problems??

Thanks, Jennifer

I have read that IgA deficiency is a risk factor for both celiac and autoimmune disorders. My daughter is also IgA deficient, about half normal. I hope others have more info for you. Good luck!

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      A lot of people erroneously think soy is a problem for people needing to be on a gluten-free diet. Trents' comment above speaks to some celiacs also having a sensitivity to soy, but this is just some of them. However, soy sauce is something anyone following a gluten-free diet should be wary of. Many soy sauces contain wheat, which is where the soy/gluten...

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part....

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

Trents' comment above speaks to some celiacs also having a sensitivity to soy, but this is just some of them.  However, soy sauce is something anyone following a gluten-free diet should be wary of. Many soy sauces contain wheat, which is where the soy/gluten confusion comes into play. There is gluten-free soy sauce available, just read labels to be sure. I use San-J Tamari, which is gluten-free but does contain soy, in place of regular soy sauce.

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.
