Test Results

I'm looking at the results and I don't see all the recommended tests. There is a whole list of things but what I think pertains to celiac are as follows:

I'm typing exactly what my paper says.

IgA (latest ref rng 68-378) 188

Tissue Transglut Ab (latest ref rng 0-19) 13

I started feeling bad again yesterday after several days of relief, thinking of trying to cut gluten regardless of these results.

There are a few other tests that they should have run, maybe they aren't back yet. If you plan on any other testing for celiac, more blood tests or the biopsy then don't go gluten free yet. If you are done with testing a strict trial of the diet is always in order no matter what the test results are because of the high rate of false negatives.

These are all the test that were run. I'm not going to push the issue, at least for now.

Four days ago I started doing my best with my limited experience to avoid gluten. Since then I've had only one short bout of cramps daily, and normal BM's the last two days! I'm amazed, but I realize it's way to early to know for sure if it is gluten or something else. But, not thinking, I ordered fries in a restaurant, likely fried in oil with breaded items, and started cramping immediately after, with a wave of exhaustion. But, luckily, was able to shake it off pretty quickly.

So, looking at my test results (earlier in this thread) do you think it shows gluten sensitivity?

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
