Help With Test Results

Hi All!

I was diagnosed with celiac disease two weeks ago after an endoscopy. I am am gluten free now and have had some positive results. Also being treated for H.Pylori with a host of medications that make me feel sick, so hopefully when I am done with those later this week I will feel even better.

I was wondering if anyone can help me determine if the blood testing below is indicative of the severity of my celiac disease. I am 40, M/W in generally good health. I found out about my celiac disease after ending up in the ER twice within 6 months for colitis related pain and dehydration. After a year of different tests I finally figured it out. Some minor GI issues and moderate joint pain (which has decreased significantly since going gluten-free). I would love to figure out when my celiac disease kicked in and how much damage has been done. I have relatively minor symptoms compared to what I have read about from people posting on this board.

Thank you to all that post on this site, I am still getting used to the idea of a gluten-free lifestyle, but the information shared on this site has been invaluable.

Dave

INTERPRETATION see note

RESULTS REVIEWED BY: see note

INTERPRETATION: The patient has one of the HLA-DQ variants associated

with celiac disease.

More than 97% of celiac patients carry either

HLA-DQ2(DQA1*05/DQB1*02) or HLA-DQ8(DQA1*03/DQB1*0302)

or both. However, 39% of the general U.S. population

carry these HLA-DQ variants, as a consequence, the

presence of HLA-DQ2 or DQ8 or both variants is not per

se diagnostic of celiac disease.

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."

Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.

      Hi, @Rebeccaj, Those Villa that get damaged by eating gluten are the same billion that absorb nutrients from our food.  Damaged villa can't absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals well.  If we don't get sufficient nutrients, our body can't function properly.  We can get brain fog, pins and needles or neuropathy, feeling off balance, and even worsening digestive symptoms. Talk to your doctor or dietician about taking vitamin and mineral supplements while healing.  The gluten free diet can be low in nutrients, especially if you eat gluten free facsimile processed foods.  Gluten containing breads have vitamins added to them to replace those lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile foods usually are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins.   Taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, Vitamin D, and magnesium help the digestive tract heal, lowers histamine, and regulates the immune system.
