Elevated Blood Lipids But Normal Cholesterol


Fairy Dancer

Recommended Posts

I managed to get some details as to the results of the blood tests that I had earlier this week over the phone although I won't know the full details until I have seen my GP next week.

From what I can gather everything came back normal except for elevated blood lipids. I am not sure what test he ran for celiac disease but I did ask him to run tests for it, however I am told the only anomaly was the blood lipids. My cholesterol however is normal so I am assuming its triglycerides that are high.

Does anyone know what might cause that and if it could be due to undetected gluten issues etc as the result of the blood tests really does not explain all the symptoms I get such as fatigue, abdominal pain, acid reflux, soft rancid smelling stools etc.

Also so I can clarify when I see my dr next week, what tests should he have run for a full celiac panel?

Without knowing exactly what tests your dr ran, it's hard to say what the results mean. Here's a factsheet that talks about the celiac antibody tests: Open Original Shared Link

If you print it out and plan to give it to your dr highlight the names of the tests you need and explain you want to have the complete panel. Many drs will only run one test and it doesn't give the full picture of what's going on if that test is negative.

      What kind of issues have you had going to public schools? Are you gluten-free as well?

      It might be worth a try to see if that is causing you issues. I've not tried it, but don't have the same issues with fruits and vegetables.

      Thank you. i actually get my cheeses generally from Costco:  Brie, and Manchego. but I recall getting reactions from buying Supermarket shredded Mexican mix cheese, and now I know why. Thank you.

      Hello my gluten free friends,  I am 2 years out from diagnosis and doing well. A year prior to having any symptoms I noticed a swollen lymph node. This has been 3ish years ago now. The lymph node currently is still swollen. I recently went back to the doctor for it. They did an ultrasound and found it to have “no suspicious activity and benign in nature”. My doctor said it could have been one of the first signs my body was giving me that I had an autoimmune disorder. She said it may go away eventually or could always stay slightly swollen because of the disease. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I don’t know if I should ask for a biopsy to confirm it’s not cancerous.    Emma

      Be careful of pre-sliced cheese, too.  I have been ok getting it cut at deli's.  That, too, can be a gamble, but so far there has been no cross-contamination.  I have heard they use such a small amount of cellulose, they do not have to include it in the ingredients.
