What Are The Right Blood Test To Get?

Hello all I am new here and possibly a new Celiac. I will be getting worked up for Celiac but would like to know what blood test i should be getting to get a proper diagnosis and what levels would I need to be at to be considered positive? I would value your input as it seems you all have a much better handle on this than most docs.

Many years ago I was tested and the doc said my blood was postive but then the biopsy was negative and that was that. I was having other gi problems at the time so I really never pursued it further.

Recenlty my hair has been falling out, I am bone tired, I have gotten a mysterious rash that comes and goes (but doesn't look like the typical celiac rash as it is not blistery looking) I have tons of gas and bloating and constipation has always been a problem, and I have an aunt that had Celiac.

So I would like to make sure that I am getting the right blood work done this time and what the levels that would make it positive.

I thank you all in advance for your help.

Hi me again I have another question. I DO NOT have ANY large intestine as it was all removed will that affect blood work results?

Thanks again

Alison

      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.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      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?

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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
