What Test Should I Request?

Hi! I have a doctor's appointment with my family practioner this Tuesday, and I'm wanting her to test me for Celiac and/or Gluten sensitivity. What are those particuliar tests called? She has been working with me to try and figure out why I've been having so much anxiety and other problems for the past 15 months. I'm really hoping that this is my answer, and that I am not losing my mind. lol I've dealt with severe anxiety (hit and miss) the past 15 months and I have been on an antidepressant, but the anxiety still prevails. I also have suffered with periods of bad brain fog and confusion, terrible sleep issues, stomach aches/nausea and heartburn/indigestion. I also battle periods of fatigue and no energy or motivation. I deal with a lot of irritable feelings and mood swings, but I am always aware that I am being irrational. I just don't feel like me anymore, and it seems like this has lasted forever. Everyday, I am aware of my emtional state. I've lost confidence in myself. I'm a stay-at-home mother of two little boys, and I just can't handle all this stress. I need to be cured so that I can get on with my life! Anyway, I'm hoping that going Gluten Free will resolve these issues, but I'm very confused on what I can and cannot eat. I understand that you can't have wheat, barley, malt, oats, etc. I'm confused though on the other ingredients. I see people all the time saying that there are hidden gluten ingredients. I don't even know if I can have a cup of coffee with creamer. lol

tests: Tissue Transglutamase Iga & Igg

Endomysial Antibody

Total Iga Serum

Deamidated Gliadin Peptide

**if they do not have this newer DGP test available, then ask for the Antigliadin Iga & Igg

you need a complete panel- as many of us have many negative results.

also- u MUST be eating enough gluten for an accurate test (like 4-6 slices of bread worth a day-> 4-6 weeks).

you'll learn soon enough the diet. i have coffee every morning with Nestle Sugar Free non-dairy creamer... it has a lot of CRAP in it.. but no gluten.

good luck!

On my lab sheet, it is called the celiac panel and it consisted of:

anti-tissue transglutaminase IGA

Gliadin IGA & IGG

Endomysial AB

Reticulin AB

Also, the total serum IGA (separate from celiac panel)

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
