Blood Test


Elsmere

Recommended Posts

Elsmere Newbie

After years of irritable bowel symptoms, just had a blood test for celiac. And was told to go gluten free. I don't

understand my numbers though. I was given a range 80 to 400. And told that I scored 309. What does this mean?

A few weeks ago, I stopped eating the whole grain (mostly wheat) cereal. And started eating fruit and almonds

for breakfast instead.

So the score might not be accurate. Whatever.

What does my score of 309 mean?

Thanks so much!

Without knowing what was tested, it's hard to say what that number is? It could be your antibody level. If it is..that is a high reading.

If your Dr says it's Celiac..it is. There aren't false positives..just false negatives.

Ask your Dr. if he will be doing an endoscope. If so, you should stay on gluten until it's done. If not..you have your DX. No more gluten for you.

Read the posts here to get a wealth of info, and be sure to ask any questions you have.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Yes this is very frustrating for me ... not sure what to think.  Feels like I'm having reactions to a lot of things  Now applesauce?? I don't understand 😞

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you

      Anyone else get pins and needles. ??? Burning feeling ? Heat makes it so much worse 😔  Winter is here.  I had to lower my thermostat because I couldn't take that hot air feeling 😔  Hopefully it goes away soon
