Hello,

I have a family members results which the nurse told me were just fine, no celiac. Is she correct, how do the numbers look? I will just list the numbers in each collum, I am not sure what to look at

The IgA is 0.00-20.00 <20

The IgG is 0.00-20.00 <20.00

FYI

-result for Vit D is very low and on a dose of 50,000 IU for 12 weeks, then will retest (Nurse kindly told me Vit D was boarder line with last years blood work...nice of her to give me this info this year!)

-ANA is positive but has been for 5 years

-Diaganosed with Primary raynausd for 5 years (still not treating with medication but getting close)

That's an incomplete test. They should have also tested ttg and endomesial antibodies as well.

I did ask for a full panel and I was told thats not how things are done to start. Do you think the Vit D is an indicator and if so should I ask for a full panel when they retest blood work in 8 weeks?

Vitamin D deficiency is very common in Celiac. To be told "that's not done" is the sign of an office that is not keeping up. I have found that sometimes you have to demand to be tested, because doctors say silly things like "Oh, you can't have Celiac, you're constipated." Keep asking and be firm!

Thank you... maybe the problem is that my child's doctor is a RA doctor for her raynauds.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
