Hello! I have extensive family history of celiac - both sisters and their children, as well as an uncle and cousin. I have been told that I am negative, however i'm not sure that my doctor is familiar enough with celiac to really be sure.

My blood work in 2009: IgA 51mg/dl & Celiac screen transglutinase antibody 6.3 ab/units

My blood work last week: IgA 64 mg/do & Celiac screen transglutinase antibody 8.6 ab/units

I am also 7 weeks pregnant and am concerned for baby - my one sister had a miscarriage due to malnutrition from celiac, which is what led to all of getting tested...

Just looking for some straightforward answers if there are any.

Thanks in advance!

- Tara

Different labs have different reference ranges for these tests, so it would help to interpret if you can post the ranges for those tests.

I have no idea what the normal ranges are...I tried searching on-line, but I couldn't seem to find anything. I will try calling the lab to find out tomorrow.

Thanks!

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
