Blood Test Results

I had an endoscopy last Tuesday and after I woke up the doctor said I has celiacs, they took a biopsy which is not back yet (tomorrow hopefully) and a full celiac blood panel. I called today and got the results of the blood work- all negative. He said "it doesnt mean anything" that I have to wait until I get the pathology back. From what Im reading online, it looks like the blood test is 98% accurate! How is it even possible that I still have celiacs?

This makes no sense to me...

I just got faxed the results- they tested for IGA- <3 and IGA Serum 160. All the other tests it says "test not preformed" why wouldnt they test for everything? Could it be that after they test those two and they were normal they dont continue testing?

The blood tests and biopsies have a pretty high rate of false negatives. If your doctor could see celiac related damage it is quite certain that you are celiac despite the negative blood tests. Since you have finished your testing you can start the diet today. You don't need to wait for the biopsy results. Welcome to the board, ask any questions you need to and read as much as you can.

They didn't do a full celiac panel, you can have a negative on one test and a positive on another. Blood tests have a high rate of false negative and a endoscopic biopsy is what they use to diagnose anyways. If you have a positive biopsy than you have celiac.

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

      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.

      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?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      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.
