Test Results - Symptoms (help?)

I have been diagnosed with Chronic Urticaria (22 male) as of December 2004.

About a month ago I started getting new symptoms: weight loss, pale, bloating, smelly stool

Someone directed me towards Celiac's. VERY rarely is CU linked to Celiacs. Well, I have had some blood work (after I noticed an improvement in a glutton-free diet after about 72 hours). I attempted to piss my system off again by eating my normal diet. It has worked after a good week of a normal diet. I can't seem to find the information I want on IgG without IgA. Is mine even high enough to do some scoping?

Here are some relevant test results:

VITAMIN B12:

B12 *269* (Ref: 243-894) -*Normal-*

Gliadin Ab IgG *31 H* (Ref: 30+ = mod to high positive)

Gliadin AB IgG *16 H* (<15 Units)

CBC TEST:

White Blood Count *11.2 H* (Ref: 3.8-10.6)

SEGS *80 H* (38-77)

LYMPHS *14 L* (22-39)

Other Results:

Endomysl ab, IGA = NORMAL

Gliadin ab, IGA = NORMAL

Reticulin Ab, IGN = NORMAL

Reticulin Ab, IGG = NORMAL

Transglut Iga = NORMAL

Allergy Prick Test (Wheat) = NEGATIVE

With your tTG and EMA both normal as well as all the IgA's then I would say you probably do not have celiac. The tTG and EMA are the most specific tests you can get for celiac.

I would investigate into what is going on with your CBC counts though.

Your IgG can be high maybe due to something else..with the other tests negative I would seem to doubt celiac.

A possibility is though you may be IgA deficient which would make otherwise positive tests negative so I'm not saying you do not have celiac because you very well could and just be deficient.

If it was me I would probably do further testing to see if I could get to the root of the problem.

If you plan to do further celiac testing then DONOT go gluten free yet because that can screw up results and heal damage if you have it.

You may want to try the diet now(if you do not do further testing) and see how you feel and if things get better then you may be on the right track.

Another thing is maybe you have a sensitivity to it but not celiac yet.

Do not go gluten free til all celiac disease testing is done!

I do not believe the testing for celiac disease /gluten intolerance is as accurate as it needs to be. If it were accurate it should not take an average of 11 years for diagnoses in the US.

Get the the endoscopy with biopsy, and other tests to rule out any health problems. Make sure the doctor you are with is knowledgable about celiac disease and can clearly explain things to you. (I think your doctor should have explained your test results so you don't have to ask strangers on the internet.)

When the testing is over try the gluten free diet.

Well, it isn't my doctors fault... I just got them and I am leaving the country. I am going to stay away from glutin while I am abroad.

The main reason is that glutin not only gives me bloating but it makes me break out in hives as well and I'd rather not deal with it in a third world country :)

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
