3 Qs, Stools, Challenge, And Ttg

Ok, trying to resist the urge to apologize for the whole TMI thing, it's not easy, to not give a warning, and I guess I'll get used to it. I noticed there is no 'blush' emoticon in here :P (ie don't be embarrassed!!)

Q 1 Anyway, what I am wondering is what would ones stool be like if they were malabsorbing? I had to give a stool sample today and they were testing for signs of malabsorption. I was just wondering if there are any characteristics common?

Mine kind of varies in it's abnormality, I guess depending on what I've eated. I dont want to go in to too much detail, but it definately had some specific characteristics which were not normal. I suspected it may have been 'fatty' or something...

Q 2 I have noticed when I first started eating heaps of gluten I was really sick, and 7 weeks down the track, I'm no where near as bad as I was when I first started. I am just wondering if this is normal or am thinking maybe my issues aren't gluten related.

Q 3 In the reading I'm doing it says that ttg iga, can be raised in people with arthritis. I was just wondering if this is the Rheumatoid arthritis only (the autoimmune arthritis) or if they mean the garden variety Osteo Arthritis?

Thank you.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
