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.

      Anyone Have Dumping Syndrome Related To Celiac Disease?

      I agree, and here is an older article on this topic:

      Rampant decay caused by Celiac’s disease

      She should be tested for 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level.  Most newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease are disturbingly low.  Malabsorption syndrome causes poor dietary absorption of vitamin D orally and super high sunscreens block skin production.  Hypervitminosis D which nearly every article written warns of, is a very rare disease. Many these days drink bottled water so do not get the benefit of floridation.  I had lots of cavities as a kid and when they floridated the water I stopped getting cavities.  Of course in those days all we had for sunscreen was baby oil and that "don't be a paleface" stuff, so we actually got vitamin D from the sun.  Celiac Disease uses a lot of vitamin D to control the immune system response to gluten, but we don't get enough. Iodine can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease, and may be more effective when used in combination with fluoride.  Get her medium urinary iodine concentration (Muic) tested for iodine intake deficiency.  In the last 30 years iodine levels have fallen by 50% in the United States.

      Toddler gluten challenge and vomiting

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 1976 as soon as he was weaned, his doctor insisted that we feed him only Nutramigen it was the only hyperallergenic with complete nutrition.  Enfamil and Similac were not acceptable if we wanted him to get healthy.  For one thing they had no  choline back then. Given the lawsuits against them now, he was right. He spent about 6 months on the Nutramigen formula exclusively and weaned off of that to a gluten free diet and thrived. He also predicted that by kindergarden the teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin, which he took all the way through High School.

      Check the label and tell us what kind of B12 is in your gummies.   If it's Cyanocobalamin, switch to a methylated (active) form of B12.   Some of us need to take the active form of B12 because our bodies have problems turning other forms of B12 into the active methylated form due to MTHFR genetic variations.   Take a B Complex supplement, too, because B12 needs the other B vitamins to function properly.

      Anyone Have Dumping Syndrome Related To Celiac Disease?

      By Barrie9 · Posted

      Hi! I've been gluten free for years. No surgery,  but have dumping syndrome symptoms,  particularly if I've eaten a lot of FODMAP foods, or xanthan gum, or any other gums that are in many gluten free foods. You may want to stop eating foods with gums and see if that helps!
