The Results Are In...i Think

I just got my test results back today and I'm a little confused. It doesn't look like I was tested for all 5 of the antibodies that I've seen many of you talk about here. This is what my results look like:

ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY: <1:10; Reference range <1:10

The name of the test on the report is listed as "ANTI GLIADIN IGG IGA ANTIBODIES". Does this mean that I don't have Celiac?

Also, I don't know if this matters or not, but I got my stool tests back too and it stated that there was a moderate amount of yeast in my stool.

My next GI appointment isn't until October 19, so I was wondering if anyone out there has any input.

Thanks in advance!

Some people have yeast intolerances and/or allergies that can mimic celiac disease symptoms. I don't know what yeast in the stool means, but when I saw this, the yeast intolerance thing came to mind. I don't have this condition, but maybe someone out there does and you two can compare isses/symptoms.

Hmmm - I never really thought of that before (but then again, I would have never guessed that Celiac disease could have been a possibility either). So, does anyone know anything about the "ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY" results? Why does everyone else seem to have whole-numbered results while I have a ratio? Thanks again!

Sorry to keep rambling on, but I also noticed that on the "FECAL LEUKOCYTES" part of the test (which was part of the stool sample), it stated "FEW PMNS (0 to 2 per OIF). I don't know if that is significant or not either...

Hi i am just newly diagnosed with GI as well. Its all very confusing. I live in New Zealand and we dont get to see results as such. My doctor phoned me yesterday with my results. ive serched the net but really must be looking in the wrong place. My igG level has come back where on our scale it goes from 0-20 with 20 being bad my score was 80. My docter said she has never seen such a high score before. Does anybody have any thorts that mite help? Does it mean i probably have other intolerances as well? WOuld welcome any suggestions :)

Since you have a moderate amount of yeast in your stool you may have a yeast overgrowth. This can be treated with antifungals such as Nystatin. Overgrowth can occur when their is an upset between the balance of yeast and beneficial bacteria in the gut.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      Comparing results with different units can be very difficult, or impossible. What are the normal ranges for each result?

      New onset constant gas

      Hi all, I’ve been following a strict gluten-free diet for 1.5 years since I was diagnosed. The last few weeks though I’ve suffered almost continual bloated stomach and flatulence. It literally is almost constant - and I was never this way before. I can’t think of any change to my diet, activity, etc. I’m dying - it’s so uncomfortable and embarrassing to feel l...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      @Levi, How are you doing? Sorry I missed your posts. How's your thyroid? Did your Vitamin D stabilize? Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form. Also, Thiamine...

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      I'm looking for bars or non perishable snacks for my 2 kids. They are 5 and 3. The 3 year old seems sensitive to oats also. We do a lot of long hikes and bike rides. They eat mostly fresh foods but for these rides and hikes we need easy and non perishable. Also that taste good! We do a lot of larabars and freeze dried apples but those are getting old. Any...

      Gluten Free Oats

      By Mushroom73 · Posted

      I do not understand why manufacturers think everyone that actually has Celiac can tolerate oats. They don't understand that not all of us can. they think it is fantastic and start putting this in all their products making them unusable for me.  So frustrating!!

      @Levi, How are you doing?  Sorry I missed your posts.   How's your thyroid?  Did your Vitamin D stabilize?  Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D.  Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form.  Also, Thiamine is needed to active Vitamin D.   Hypothyroidism can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  The thyroid is an organ that uses lots of thiamine.  sometimes thyroid deficiency can also cause hyperthyroidism, or swings between both hyper- and hypo-thyroidism. We need more Thiamine when we're sick with an infection (like Covid) or injured.  We need more Thiamine when we're physically active.  We need more Thiamine when we're emotionally stressed or worried.  Our brain uses the more Thiamine just thinking than our muscles do while running a marathon.  Thiamine is extremely important in fighting infections.  Covid patients and long haulers have found taking Thiamine has improved their survival rate and long term symptoms.   Consider taking a Thiamine supplement like Benfotiamine which has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.  Damaged villi need thiamine to grow back.   Be sure to take a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  You also need magnesium to keep calcium in the bones.  The thyroid regulates calcium.  A wonky thyroid can lead to reduced bone density.   Remember the B vitamins all work together in concert so adding a B Complex to Benfotiamine and magnesium supplements and Vitamin C would be great in improving absorption of nutrients while we're dealing with celiac disease.
