Is This One Saliva Test Sufficient To Diagnose?


JadaBug

Recommended Posts

JadaBug Newbie

I am new here and have been reading so many posts, such great info! I really have learned quite a bit in a short time, thanks (still have a long way to go though!).

Now for my questions........recently, I took a mail in test to see if I am gluten sensitive (I have so many of the symptoms for sensitivity), the test was:

Gliadin Ab, SIgA (Saliva) test.

The result was positive, 30 (with borderline being 13-15 U/ml and positive: >15 U/ml).

I will add that I recently had a skin prick allergy test that showed mild-mod reaction to soy and corn..........could this be affecting the results of the Iga test (cross reactive food)?

My question is......should I do further testing or are these results indicative of being gluten sensitive? I am torn with what to do as I don't have a doc yet (what type of doc is recommended if that is the best approach?) and am not sure how much of a 'hassle' it is to get the further testing done when I think the result will be not celiac disease but gluten intolerance and am worried about resistance from a doc to perform the testing when its not celiac disease (either result is the same, go gluten free), but I am not sure the best next step.

Any suggestions are welcome as this is so unfamiliar and tough to know how to navigate.

Thanks!

      Im very big on nateral remedies and just read that my go to herb is a no no and was wondering if factual or fiction. I read on Google, I know don't read or take to heart, however it stated that Echinacea isn't good for those with compromise autoimmune because it can cause inflammation. Has anyone else heard of this?Ive been battling sibo so wondering if any connection though haven't been religious on my vitamins these last several months because of testing ect.Sibo medications im allergic,the last few prescribed. Gi  dr dropped me but took me back.Im frustrated too but its the autoimmune part .

      Pardon me, I stand corrected.  I did find yet another blood test for thyroid function. TSH W/REFLEX TO FT4:  2.91 mIU/L  (Range: 0.40 - 4.50) As you can see, I was within the acceptable range when the test was performed.

      I am curious: What was your initial level at? How many daily IUs were you taking via supplements and for how long? What did your level drop to? How many daily IUs are you taking now via supplements? Regards, Known1

      Ive been dealing with skin issues and been told it was staph because I was employed as a bus driver during that horrid time that im still actively healing from currently years later. Biopsies they don't want to say its inconclusive they say.Their creams don't work.I do notice Yarrow Pom from Doterra works but of course thats expensive.Prayers

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @MoniqueCham! Celiac disease damages the villous lining of the small bowel but, as far as I know, doesn't affect the underlying smooth muscle tissue of the bowel.
