Hi - I just joined this group earlier today and thought I'd posted earlier, but I'm not seeing my post so maybe I didn't do it correctly.

It took nearly a month to get my results from EnteroLab, and they came back indicating Intestinal antigliadin IgA antibody levels were elevated (45 units) indicating gluten sensitvity. What I'd like to know is:

1) Has anyone received a different result (their documentation indicates that 45 units is the average postiive result).

2) Has anyone on this list had their positive results confirmed by some other testing methodology?

3) If so, what was the second methodology used?

I'm seeing my physician who odered the test on Tuesday. Before I embark on a total life change, I want to make darned sure it's the correct diagnosis. I wouldn't accept any other type of diagnosis without some collaboration and I feel the same way about this. (Frankly, I hope the diagnosis IS correct, it would explain a lot of things)

Thanks,

Nikki

Jolienej,

This is the test to request from your doctor:

Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG

Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA

Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA

Total IgA level.

Take a walk around this site and see if you find anything familiar.

Nikki,

It would be a good place to start with the Celiac Blood Panel (not sure what test your dr. ordered):

Antigliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgG and IgG

Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA

Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA

Total IgA level.

There is a great deal of information here. Take a walk around.

Did they check for gall bladder disease?( which can be related to celiac). And constipation is more common than previously thought. I went back on a gluten diet 2 weeks ago for tests I'll be having in a few weeks. Just a few days after starting to eat wheat again my old constipation problem came back. After being gluten-free for 2 yrs, I had forgotten how bad it was.

      Could my infant son have been glutened? Hear me out.

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition with a genetic base. The the potential for developing the disease is inherited. but remains latent until triggered by some stress event. Thus, there is an epigenetic component to celiac disease. Once the genes are awakened from dormancy, celiac reactions are triggered by the ingestion of gluten.

      Newbie possible glutening help

      By Beeroney · Posted

      Hi all, just ticked over into my first year gluten-free after being diagnosed last October and feeling a bit rough after a possible glutening. Diagnosed at the ripe age of 38, never been ill in my life before this so safe to say my health anxiety is now borderline unmanageable. I think I may have been glutened a week ago, since then I’ve had that familiar hot/burning feeling in my gut, gas, bloating and all the Bristol Stool chart types in one sitting. I know people are different but does this sound familiar to anyone? Stomach was churning like mad last weekend like it did when I first ill before diagnosis. Acid reflux(which was my first symptom way back when) also reared its ugly head, which I probably the worst symptoms imo. Anxiety is probably up more so as I’m leaving on holiday to USA in 3 weeks time, which would be pretty much ruined if my guts are still messed by the time we leave.  Any words of wisdom appreciated    Bryan

      This doesn't answer your question but I'm not sure if you know that this intolerance is passed down from mother to child through Cord blood and or breast milk.

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      Manitol and mri

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄
