More Blood Work And Test Result

Hi everybody!

Yesterday I just got my results from blood work, CT and MRI. WOW!!!

I have vitamin D, magnesium, and iron deficiency. The doctor prescribed heavy doses of the vitamins for me. I should take them for three months and after he would check the blood again.

I also received very good news: I don't have Cancer!! I'm happy.

I found out that I have a new small white lesion in my brain which wasn't there last year. The cyst in the left maxillary sinus still there, but didn't change which is very good.

I have a small kidney stone on the left side and on the right ovary 2,5 cm cyst.

I also have something with my lungs, but I don't understand what it is. I will just post it, and maybe somebody will know what it means.

"Focal peripheral interstitial changes are seen in the right lung base anteriorly with minimal scaring. There is no focal area of consolidation or pleural effusion." I have asthma. It's related to that? I don't know. I'm afraid because my father died at 54. of the lung cancer.

The doctor also gave me the enzymes for the pancreas. I can't eat fat because I will have an instant pain on the left side of my stomach. It looks like my pancreas isn't working.

My allergist send the report to my doctor from skin tests: "Imediate reaction to skin test was negative; however, there was a delayed reaction to wheat which lasted for over 24 hours. Considering the positive biopsy report and a delayed reaction to wheat, it is likely that the patient does have celiac disease." I also tested positive for milk allergy.

And one last thing: I posted early that I'm always having the feeling that I will faint any second, that I'm very weak, dizzy and that I'm having black outs. I thought that it was relayed to widrawal from the gluten. I was wrong. I have something wrong with my heart. I need to see cardiologist. I need tests: ECHO, 24 Hr Holter ( I will have some device attached to my heart for 24 hours)and stress test. I'm just 34, and I have many health issues. Wow!! :blink::blink::blink:

It's finally means that I have celiac disease, even if my blood work , genetic ( I have only half of the DQ2- DQA*05) and regular screening for celiac disease, came back negative? I tested positive for celiac disease on the biopsy (Marshl) and on the skin test for the wheat allergy, but my two gastroenterologist told me that I don't have it, and I should try to eat everything. :huh: They also look at me like I came from the other planet. Many of us are having the same responds over and over. What is wrong with the world that nobody wants to listen to us?

Hi Simon,

Until your doctors tell you have something to worry about with your lungs, don't panic. I have scar tissue on my lungs as well. I was told the scar tissue was likely resulted from Bronchial Asthma, and pneumonia as a baby. I am 56 this year. The doctors will continue to monitor. I was told I can't have NSAIDs because of the bronchial asthma, because they will cause further damage to the lungs.

I was told to follow the Celiac diet for the rest of my life. My test results was low Celiac. The Gluten challenge landed me in the hospital 3 times. Dr. gave me note saying that I am to follow the Celiac diet. I have other autoimmune diseases, so what is one more.

Take care

Gerri

Thank you so much for your respond. 4 months ago I had just "few" health issues, but now I do feel like an every part of my body is refusing to cooperate with me. I need to wait for another tests and results, but I hope that everything would be ok. :)

"I found out that I have a new small white lesion in my brain which wasn't there last year."

Are you having any balance or movement issues? If you are you may have gluten ataxia. This lesion sounds like what doctors call a UBO or unidentified bright object. In some countries that is considered diagnostic of celiac that is attacking the brain. My neuro was clueless when a number of these were found on my MRI. I had severe ataxia which progressed to the point where I couldn't walk unaided before I finally got diagnosed. I have recovered to a great extent after I was finally diagnosed.

Please don't panic about the heart symptoms. It may turn out that the testing shows all is okay. Both my DD and I had similar symptoms and both have had heart testing including the holter monitor for her. In the end all tests were in normal ranges and I hope they are for you also.

Hopefully you are either on the diet or will be as soon as your testing is done.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate...

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
