Are These The Tests I Need For Diagnosis?

My neurologist thinks my small fiber neuropathy is either from Sjogren's (which I have) or from celiac disease. I've been tested for it before (30 yrs ago) but they missed it. I figured it out on my own about 6 yrs ago and have been gluten free ever since.

However, if I am truly a celiac, I will be even MORE VIGILANT than I already am.

These are the tests he ordered:

Transglutaminase IgG

Anti-Gliadin AB

Will these be pretty definitive?? Even if I haven't been eating gluten??

THANKS!!!!

If you are gluten-free already, these tests will probably not be conclusive since they look for the Gliadin reaction! the "gene" test however is not conditional to this. Here is one of the best labs testing currently for Celiac Disease, and they have good notes. This site also explains "testing" as well..good luck

GRRRRR,,,, That's what I thought. I had been wanting the DNA test. Will a DNA test thru another lab be OK??

thanks!

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Yes, if you are convinced gluten is causing you problems then it would seem to come down to NCGS but you may also have other intolerances.

      suggest gluten free food

      There are huge categories of gluten-free foods, are there any particular types of foods that you are trying to find?

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Ended up demanding HLA and I’m negative for both. So assuming this is NCGs now? PCP seems unsure and GI is referring to genetics which I don’t get. about to lose my mind

      gluten free cookie recipes

      By olivia11 · Posted

      You are definitely not alone aftertastes and denser interiors are really common with gluten-free baking. Oat and tigernut flours are great choices, and tweaks like extra egg or adjusting hydration are exactly the kind of trial and error that usually leads to better texture over time.
