Hey Michelle,

You are our resident researcher here!!! Great informative articles. Now if I only I could get some of the doctors to read it.

Thanks,

fascinating reading! I am especially (pleasantly) surprised at the part on how it is diagnosed. That there is no one specific test that can either definitively diagnose or exclude celiac in every individual. And also that it mentions the unreliability of the seriologic tests in children under 5. My daughter was 3 when we went through the (horrific) testing procedure for her... Oh if we had only known then what we know now!

Thank you for posting ! I am reading everything and anything that I can about this disease - (I'm newly diagnosed)...

Thanks to other posts I bought Wheat Free, Worry Free....by Danna Korn and Shelly Case's gluten-free Diet: Comprehensive Resource Guide. I've read about 1/2 of Danna Korns book and think it's great - she writes in a way that makes it easier for me to understand the why behind this disease/symptoms.

If you haven't already read it, I recommend it to others. :)

:D Great link....it is good to hear that you have a good doctor. Mine has never dealt with a celiac patient before so I am giving this link to him. Maybe we all need to educate our doctors a little more so that they understand what we deal with every day ;)

Thanks

Penny, more likely your doc. has dealt with celiac patients but didn't know it, many of us are the flag flyers, hang in there,

Michelle, your doc. actually wants you to know this stuff, truly amazing! Just goes to prove, good news is never far away! Am going to disseminate it further (without your name on).

Thanks for the info. I WILL be reading the cancer and celiac disease. My dad died at 43 from T-cell lymphoma and I am rapidly approaching that age myself! ;)

Thanks for the thanks ;) But I am just thrilled to have such a great doctor who is so unbelievably caring & considerate. She told me that I'm her first celiac patient and I think she is actually kind of fascinated by it. But - more than anything - she is just incredibly nice! She called me a couple of weeks ago to tell me about some test results and was really excited for me because she'd found out that Ben & Jerry's is (mostly) gluten-free. I thought that was so sweet! Of course, I reminded her that I'm allergic to dairy.. :rolleyes: (To which she responded, "Damn!" tee-hee)

Anyway - I am incredibly lucky. She diagnosed me while she was working on a paper / presentation on celiac disease (probably for school - she's a nurse practitioner at the Univ. of Utah). After we had done about 15 other tests (diabetes, thyroid, HIV, etc) she called one day and said, "You know, I'm working on this paper - and the whole time I'm writing it I'm thinking 'I bet this is what Michelle has!'"

I knew right then that she was wonderful - I mean, how many other doctors think about their patients when they *aren't* at work?

I'll be sure and pass on any other information I receive!

I love you guys! *sniff* ;)

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies. She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses. She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid. The test was a failure. The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies...

      Positive biopsy

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen! Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run...

      Positive biopsy

      Upper endoscopy last week resulted in positive biopsy for celiac disease. The IgA they ran was normal (114). Does positive biopsy automatically mean definitive diagnosis?

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.
