So the obvious celiac tests that I can pick out are deamidated gliadin abs, iga which was 2.6

t-transglutaminase, iga which was 1

so considered neg

but immunoglobulin A, QN, serum was high at 438. I need help with that one, can't find much on it.

other tests that were abnormal: Vit D low, put on the 12 vit d therapy.

wbc high at 11.1

neutrophils high at 85

lymphs high at 13

monocytes low at 2

neutrophils (absolute) high at 9.4

glucose high

all cholesterol high(been put on a low fat diet)

bilirubin abnormal at 2

I would reallly appreciate any help with these.

So I have been doing some reading, does having a negative giladin and ttg but a high immunoglobulin A mean I don't have celiacs?

Apparently the Immunoglobulin is just used to see if your deficient, which sways makes the other tests present negative.

When you say the immunoglobin A, does that mean total Iga?? I had a celiac panel done (four tests) and three of them came back as normal and my total Iga was high. My doc says I'm fine and not to worry about the high number. I hope that someone reponds to you, as I am also curious to know what a high total Iga means when all of the other blood tests are normal.

Thank you for your kind response. I am not sure, as I am so new to this too. All I know is that it is a immunglobulin serum A that came up high.

Which must mean one of our doctors is wrong! I hope not.

Any input from anyone who understands these tests is greatly appreciated.

Some people with celiac disease have an IgA deficiency. This can make the tissue transglutaminase or anti-gliadin IgA numbers falsely appear negative. The total IgA is there to rule out IgA deficiency. You do not have IgA deficiency, so that means that is not the reason for your low antibody tests.

What does the doctor say about your high glucose? Are you diabetic? Is that causing your symptoms?

He just said that he thinks it could be borderline celiac. I saw the gastro today. She scheduled me for the biopsy next week.

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
