Husband's Blood Work Results

Ok, we got my husband's bloodwork back and it was negative for celiac. Doctor wants to follow up with an endoscopy to confirm. My husband doesn't want to do an endoscopy. Even with these results being within normal range is there anything here that might imply there's a chance they could be false. Does that make sense? Here's the results, any help is appreciated!

Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA: 4 normal range 0-19

Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG: 2 normal range 0-19

t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA: <1 normal range 0-3

t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG: 1 normal range 0-5

Endomysial Antibody IgA Negative

Immunoglobulin A, Serum 331 Normal range 70-400

I guess I get stuck on the last one which is on the higher end of the range. :blink:

They are all completely normal results. The last one means he makes a normal amount of IgA so all the celiac tests are valid.

The big problem with celiac blood tests is the general 20%-30% false negative rate. They simply are not very good tests. If your husband has a lot of symptoms, he needs the endoscopy to be sure.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      Kan-101

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Any Gluten-free Lipstick At Walgreens, Wal-mart, Etc?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.
