Not real sure? So here are my results, please help me understand them.

TTG Antibody, IGA <3 - Negative

Immunoglobulin A 164 81-463 mg/dL

Gliadin Antibody (IGA) <3 - Negative

no IGg antibodies tested I guess...

Also they tested me for

Saccharomyces Cerevisiae AB (ASCA) (IGG) 24.2 - Positive.

What does that even mean? I've never heard of this test?

Does this mean I'm negative for Celiac? or are IGA tests the ones that bring back a lot of false negatives?

I have an appointement with the GI to get scoped next week, I'm just trying to figure out what all of this stuff is.

Thanks for any advise!

All I know about your positive test is that is indicative of an inflammatory bowel disease. It could be celiac, crohns or colitis. Sorry I cant be more helpful. The endoscopy should be helpful in diagnosis. make sure they take plenty of biopsy's

Saccharomyces Cerevisiae is a yeast, so maybe they are looking for some kind of infection that could be causing issues?

Sorry, I'm not sure .-.

Thanks for the replies. I saw that when I googled it. Interesting. I hope like crazy it's not crohns or anything. I hear that it is a pain to manage.

Your Immunoglobulin A (total serum IgA) result indicates that you produce normal quantities of IgA, and therefore it is not necessary to run the IgG versions of the tests. So yes, your tests were negative for Celiac Disease. But keep in mind the 20% of false negatives that this testing produces. Also, they did not run the EMA or the DGP tests which make up the complete celiac panel. Since the tTG measures the tissue response to gluten, a lot of doctors run this test only because celiac disease is defined as damage to the tissues in the small intestine.

None of which says much about your body's ability to tolerate gluten. :P I am glad you are having the scope. Make sure he takes at least six biopsy samples.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
