Finally Got My Hands On The Test Results


GlutenFreeAustinite

Recommended Posts

GlutenFreeAustinite Contributor

So my allergist gave me the results of the old test (one month of eating gluten) and redid the test today (two months of eating gluten).

Normal range on all: 0.00-15.00

Gliadin IgA: 13.30

Gliadin IgG: 8.78

tTg IgA: 4.82

tTg IgG: 1.13

I can't figure out a frame of reference. Does the presence of any of these antibodies signal a potential problem? Or are these fairly normal levels.

All your tests are negative because they're <15.

It's very risky to compare values <15 because they are noisy, but what was your gliadin IgA after one month of consuming gluten? If the trend is increasing I might continue the challenge if I wasn't too sick.

Right. Those are the tests from one month ago...I got retested today/referred to a gastroenterologist about a biopsy. So I should find out my new levels by the end of this week.

I've also been referred to a rheumatologist to try and figure out what else is wrong. I have a ton of other issues that are not resolved by gluten free living.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      Thanks for your input.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
    • Churro
      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done recently?
