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

HLA TYPING FOR CELIAC DISEASE:

Description Result Units Range Flags

HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02) Positive

HLA-DQB1* 0501

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.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.
