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.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
