Now For My Son's Results... I Think These Are Good


Debbie B in MD

Recommended Posts

After receiving my daughter's test reults which were over the top positve for ttg and gliadin ab, I had my son tested. These are his results and I believe these are all good. Please let me know if I am wrong.

Iga serum 227 Reference Range: 57-300

Gliadin AB IGA 5: Reference Range <11 negative, <17 equivocal, >17 positive

TTG AB (IGA) 3: Reference Range: <5 Negative, 5-8 Equivocal, and >8 Positive.

My daughter's gliadin and ttg were both >100. Her GI visit is next week. I believe these results for my son are the kind we want, but I just need so reassurance.

Thanks bunches and have a great day.

Okay, since there haven't been any posts to the contrary, I am going with..... he is fine. Right?

It looks like he's fine, but I'm not a doctor. ;) Just ask your doc to confirm that he's a-okay. Another thing you can do, just for peace of mind, is do the genetic test. Less (just about zero) chance of him ever having celiac, if he's out of the genetic pool. He may develop gluten sensitivity, but at least you wouldn't have to worry about the celiac part so much.

Right, so just keep an eye on him for symptoms. If he get them, you can do follow-up testing and if that is negative, seriously try putting him on a gluten-free diet with your daughter.

Some docs recommend follow-up testing every so often (I've heard everything from annual to 5 years) in case he develops silent celiac.

Since about 20% of blood test results are false negatives it wouldn't hurt to put him on a trial gluten free diet and see if any of his symptoms resolve while gluten free. Also, I have read false negatives are higher in children. If you decide to keep him on gluten, just be aware that he can develop a gluten intolerance or celaic at anytime in his life based on his genes (your daughter got it from somewhere). This one test result does not mean he is in the clear for life. You will want to keep an eye on him for symptoms and retest as needed.

My son had a negative blood test, but we ended up putting him on a gluten free diet anyway. In part, because it was easier to cook that way (we have two diagnosed celiacs in the house anyway). And he had symptoms I didn't even know WERE symptoms that went away on the diet. We did a short gluten trial at 1 year gluten free, and the symptoms came back, so now he's on the diet permanently.

And definitely keep testing as he is getting older, if you don't keep him gluten free. It can trigger at any age, and when the celiac disease is silent, which many times it is now, it can do some major damage before there are any symptoms.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
