I think this is important information for celiacs to read. My younger brother had both celiac and crohns. One article said 18.5% of celiacs have or get crohns also. That's a pretty large number really, almost 20%.

I've always had this theory: Celiac, Crohns and IBS are just different manifestations along a spectrum of autoimmine gastrointestinal disorders. My rationale is this: Celiac, Crohn's and IBS are all genetic. In my immediate family, there is one person with each of those diseases but no 2 people have the same one. I have Celiac. My sister has Crohns. My mom has IBS. (and my lucky father has nothing!). And we've tested negative for the other diseases (i.e. the ones something else has but we don't). Anyone else have something like this?

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
