i just got my test results back after 3 weeks and i have no clue how to read them. i have been trying to get my doc to return my calls to talk to me about them but nothing after a week of calls. does anyone know what they are talking about when i have a IGA, Serum 180 mg/dL does that mean i do have the antibodies or is that normal.

Good luck. I'm thinking about switching doctors after my experience. She said my test came back negative and that I can go back to eating wheat, then I did, and it wasn't pleasant. What she didn't tell me was that being gluten free a while before the test would screw up the results. I don't even think she knew that. She was even more concerned about testing for everything BUT gluten intolerance. I'm learning from this board that doctors have a strange aversion to helping us out with this? :o

IGA, Serum 179 mg/dL reference range 81-463

the doc who did the testing in the lab at brooke army med center in ft sam houston tx said that his interpretation is that i am neg for celiac disease and my Gastro doc i am seeing is just saying that i have ibs and the stomach cramp/pain and bloating, and being really gassy is nothing to really worry about and says that the robinal will take care of all that and the really bad case of the diarrhea that i have every day.....should i just switch to a new doc he did scope my intestines but say he found nothing

This is the full Serologic Panel for Celiac that needs to be taken. Are you still eating a full gluten diet?

no i started watching what i ate before they did that test...not knowing that i should have been eating a full gluten diet up till the test. i started eating a full gluten diet a few days after and im back to the point where im afraid to eat a full meal or anything at that because of the diarrhea, stomach cramps. gas and bloating. i also just found out that the reason i was not getting my calls returned by my doc is that his nurse or use to be nurse was having problems with not giving him messages and other stuff. there has been times the pain has been so bad that i wanted to go to the er but being in the army and where i am at the health care isnt the greatest and more than likely they would say i just have indejestion and that i am fine... lucky me.

I think this just means that you are not IGA deficient. It indicates your body has the ability to produce IGA antibodies. Is this the only test your doctor ran?

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary...

      I think your question needs clarification. Are you asking who gets sick from consuming some of these prolamins are all of them? Everyone in the celiac/gluten sensitive community will get sick from consuming gliadin, hordein and secalin. Some will also get sick from consuming avenin. Apparently, some don't do well with any of them.

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      Prolamins are a type of protein found in cereal grains. Different cereal grains contain different types of prolamins, which are named based on the grain they originate from.  Here's a breakdown by grain:  Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. Rice: The prolamin is called oryzenin. Sorghum: The prolamin is called kafirin. Prolamins are a major component of cereal storage proteins and are known for their high proline and glutamine content and can get celiacs and non-celiac gluten sensitive individuals sick.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      Our son was put on Minocycline for his acne.  It did not solve the acne problem.  He developed drug induced lupus and pericarditis from it and missed an entire year of high school.  He literally went from playing football to bedridden in a couple of weeks.  His PCP tested him for genetic antibiotic resistance and he cannot take any drug in the Tetracycline family.  His gut microbiome was totally destroyed.  In fact he had a stool test done and had no good bacteria, whatsoever.   What did fix his (and his brother's acne) years after the Minocycline debacle was when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and the kids were tested.  They were both put on a Gluten Free/ Caesin Free diet and...
