Not sure if I have just been out of school for too long but I cannot figure out the results below for my tests. Of course they were sent on Friday night via e-mail when I can't talk to the doctor all weekend. Can someone let me know if I have tested positive or negative for Celiac? I of course will check in on Monday with my doctor but I don't know how to take this information. Thanks!

I believe that it is saying that less than 0.9 is the normal range. If so, those are both strongly positive.

psawyer, you are correct. Those are both positive results. What that means is that you have both IgA and IgG antibodies (antibodies of both the blood and mucosal surfaces) that against the tissue transglutaminase. This is a great test for Celiac disease, and it is positive.

Thank you both, that is what I suspected and what a relief! The answer to so many weird health issues, I am not crazy! Will miss many things but my health is so much more important than a sourdough roll.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Keith Hatfield · Posted

      Many years ago yes, after eating and going to bed, apparently my esophagus filled with food that my body rejected, the esophagus would lay against the Heart sack (pericardium?) and the heart would respond by becoming arrhythmic. That went away with the strict diet.

      I was commenting on the report saying it did not mention migraines! Yes it does last paragraph says have not seen any evidence that Celiac cause migraines! I thought this was about truth?

      It has been known for some years that celiacs suffer from migraines at a higher rate than the general populatation. It is an established symptom.
