Ugh So Bummed...

Saying I am bummed may sound strange but if I had celiacs it would mean I could easily treat and reverse damage that has been done. Now i'm back to square one. I guess since I tested very high for a milk allergy, and moderate for a gluten allergy I should still cut that from my diet. What are your opinions.

These are the results if anyone is interested

Endomysial antibody IgA - negative

T-transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 1 0-3 negative 4-10 weak positive >10 positive

immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 125 range 70-400

I'm so bummed, i just wanted an answer. I've had heartburn for the past 5 days now. Even getting it from just eating cereal.

Just one question how did you test very high for milk allergy and moderate for gluten allergy?

Your celiac panel seems negative....but as we know many of us test negative....

I would go gluten free and dairy free and see what happens. The truest 'test' is the diet followed strictly.

Your tests look incomplete to me. I don't see a total IGA there at all. So I would agree with the above advice. Go gluten-free now and your progress will be your answer. Remember testing isn't all it's cracked up to be for celiac disease at this time. Some folks who test like you do slip between the cracks when they really are sick. The only way to know is to eat gluten-free!!

they did a complete allergy blood test.

My milk antibodies had no number just >99.99 and anything over 80 is antibodies. I don't have immediate reactions though, just rashes that show up. I'm wondering if its an IgG allergy. Gluten tested for a class 3 allergy along with peanuts and garlic.

The biggest problem will be affording gluten free food to try this.

Sure processed gluten-free food is expensive, but it's best to go natural when transitioning to gluten-free. Many foods are naturally gluten-free- fruits, veg, nuts, lean protein. Most gluten-free breads and sweets are higher calorie/fat than their glutenous counterparts. It doesnt have to cost you an arm and a leg, and you might feel lots better. Give it a shot :D

I noticed that you didn't mention any anti-gliadin antibodies, either IgG or IgA.

Anti-Gliadin IgG is considered a sensitive indicator, but it is also not considered very specific. Meaning it potentially could be positive in the absence of celiac disease.

In my humble opinion, that is because A) the accepted diagnostic criteria for celiacs is antibodies present + positive biopsies and B) because the concept of Non Celiac gluten intolerance as its own disease entity isn't well recognized.

If you read this board long enough you will find folks whose only positive test is an antigliadin antibody, but who respond positively to the diet.

Give a dairy free, gluten free diet a go, and see what happens.

Yea I don't know why only 3 things were tested for celiacs. I might order the take at home test.. I think its called biochard? Guess all my eating habits are about to change. Ohh this is going to be hard! haha but i am looking forward to it.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
