Hi everyone,

I was wondering if some of you can help answer a test question.

My son took the test (has reoccuring ulcers in mouth, low D, Low Iron, muscle pain,e tc...)

His test came out a: 3 The test said anything over a 8 is a positive.

Could he be celiac positive with a 3? or even sensitive? We hadn't been loading up on gluten at all prior

to the test.

Advice please.

Was this a blood test? It appears to be normal, but there is a 20% error rate for blood tests (I actually think my sister had a false negative - I'm so sure she has some sort of intolerance). And I've heard that some people have a gluten intolerance (that isn't Celiac) that doesn't show up in test results.

If you think it could still be Celiac or an intolerance you can try putting him on the diet and see if he feels better. A lot of people on this board have done it and find that their symptoms disappeared. Self-diagnosis and feeling awesome is better than not doing anything and feeling horrible.

Hope everything works out!

Whatever test it was, if the range is over 8 positive, and he tested a 3, he failed the test :D I guess it was one of the celiac tests so that means that he does not test positive for celiac. That does not, however, mean he has no problem with gluten. It just means that the problem is not celiac disease, as is defined by the blood tests and specific biopsy test. He can still be non-celiac gluten intolerant. Loading on gluten would not make any difference to his test result; eating gluten light could.. The recommended gluten consumption is the equivalent of three to four slices of bread a day for an adult. I am not sure how much a child of unspecified age would have to eat.

Thanks for your answers everyone. All of this is a nightmare to find out.

The elimination diet stinks. It's so hard to know what is what and takes forever.

I am going to get an allergy food test panel/and tree's, pollen, etc..panel.

I AM tired of Dr's!!! ACK

I know how you feel. I got massively sick for most of February and March. I went to three different doctors before getting my diagnosis (and I was the one who said "I think it could be Celiac. I want to get tested for that"). Then I had to get my endoscopy done twice because it didn't work the first time. It was really stressful. Just keep looking forward to the future when you find out what it is and things get easier.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
