Are These The Blood Test Results For Celiac?

I uploaded a scan of my blood results from my doctor with no explanation of what they mean. Are these the blood tests done to detect Celiac? I've had diarrhea for 35 days so I'm getting desperate for answers!

No, it looks like they were testing you for a strain of yeast that is common in Chron's Disease (Open Original Shared Link), and for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (which is different from Irritable Bowel Disease). They did not - by those tests anyway - test you for Celiac Disease.

I agree with Tiffany here, they look to have been testing you for inflammatory bowel diseases such as Chron's or Ulcerative Colitis.

My good friend had similar symptoms - she was 24 when they began all of the testing and was told it was Ulcerative Colitis. Her boyfriend has Chron's. She had Diarreah almost every time she ate, and would occasionally have blood. He , with the Chron's, has much more bleeding than she ever had with hers. They both had colonoscopies to confirm diagnosis though.

I will tell you that when all of my issues first started that I had about 6 weeks of diarreah. I was down to drinking only ensure. I went from 102 to 92 lbs. in a month and that's when they started looking into issues. The diarreah ended up stopping, and for the past 3 years I have leaned more towards constipation.

Just wanted to let you know what I did during that 6 weeks. I was down to drinking ensure to keep up with vitamins and nutrients, and at times could stomach plain white rice or applesauce. I was very nauseus with anything else probably because I was eating things my body was clearly telling me to avoid. Maybe you could try something very plain like plain grilled chicken, white rice with a little butter and salt, and a steamed veggie and see how that goes for a few days then gradually increase and expand your diet to include more things slowly. For a while after the ensure I could lonly do that combo of food until my tummy calmed down a bit.

Hope everything turns out for you!

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
