Interpret Blood Results

I recently had an Anti-transglutamine test and the result was 25.33 Units. I've suffered intestinal issues as long as I can remember, sometimes worse than others. In the past I have experienced relief with a gluten-free diet but I never kept it up and always returned to eating gluten. Now I have these results and I'm not sure what the next step is. If it helps I can also put the results for some of the other common blood tests. These test were done in Brazil so some of the names might be in Portuguese, but their probably easily identifiable by the prefix.

Hemoglobin: 12.5

Hematocrit: 36%

VCM: 80.7

HCM: 28.0

CHCM: 34.7%

RDW: 12.6%

Leucocitos: 4.860

Linfocitos: 37% 1798

Bastonetes: 0% 0

Segmentados: 50% 2430

Eosinofilos: 2% 97

Basofilos: 0% 0

Monocitos: 11% 534

My fasting glucose was 85

My 2 hour post-lunch glucose was 90

I am a 28 year old female.

Suggestions?

What is the reference range for your TTg test?

Yes, the reference ranges for all are helpful. Different labs can use slightly different tests.

You're not diabetic (glucose) and it looks like you are not anemic, but those reference ranges would be helpful to say for sure. Your red blood cells might be a bit small, which could indicate iron deficiency. If you have a ferritin measure, that's helpful for evaluating total body iron status. (You can be iron deficient prior to developing anemia.)

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
