I have recently been tested for celiac by my GP. Tests results were Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase IgA 2.5, Anti-Gliadin IgA 4.5, Anti-Gliadin IgG 12.0. In the literature that I have found it states that these tests can not rule out celiac disease, but with a low anti tTG IgA a test for quantitative IgA should be done to rule out IgA deficiency. Can anyone tell me if this is done in Sask? When I asked my GP she said that because all the test were low that I did NOT have celiac and would not do further tests. Also can anyone else tell me which Dr's they have seen and been good at diagnosing this? I would say I do not have the typical symptoms of celiac but do have many that I have seen listed as symptoms (constipation, mouth sores, fatigue, etc). Thanks for any help you can provide

I am from Alberta and do not see why they would not test that?! Makes no sense. I also do not understand why they have not simply sent you for a gastroscopy??? best way to diagnose celiac then use the bloodwork to moniter your ttg levels after. Honestly if you saw a doctor in my small town all you would have to do is ask for whatever test you want and they will do them.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
