    I would call your GI just to make sure, but your results look similar to mine. Mine were: Endomysial Labs IgA --1 (0-4) IgG --5 (0-9) TtG --1 (0-3) Immunogloblin A --450 (70-400) The results on the bottom of the sheet say Negative, and I also talked to my GI after getting the results.

    I think because if it is low then your results could be skewed.

    I also had elevated Immunoglobulin A on my celiac panel. My GI told me that this has nothing to do with a gluten problem or celiac disease. A low Immunglobulin A can cause the other test results for the antibodies to be skewed. So, if you have low Immunoglobulin A and a negative result for the antibodies - you could still have celiac. He told me that high...

    In reviewing my celiac panel, I noticed that my immunoglobulin score is high. Could this be indicative of a food allergy? Thanks.

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I will continue keeping a food diary and look into ordering one or more of the tests from Enterolab. In the meantime, it won't be too difficult to know if gluten is my problem. My health has gotten consistently better in the 10+ weeks of being gluten-free. So if it regresses, I have my answer with or without a diagnosis...

    I just received my blood tests back - all the antibody levels were 1's. I also tested negative for both of the celiac genes. To further confirm, I had a sandwich last night and a slice of pizza today - none of the symptoms that I had determined to be gluten-related occurred. I am starting a food diary. The only time I have had what I considered to be...

    I travel an average of 3 out of every 4 weeks. It definitely took some trial and error, but I think I have it down pretty well now. The first few weeks were torture. I was getting glutened about once a week and was almost ready to quit. Recently though, it hasn't been a problem. I stopped eating breakfast/lunch out. I will always stop by a grocery...

    Almost 10 weeks into being gluten free, I am still having some other issues that I am trying to figure out. I had neuropathies in my hands and feet prior to going gluten free, which have since resolved. However, I am still having stomach problems and now sometimes get tingling around my lips/face. I have looked into vitamin deficiences, but I think I have...

    I am supposed to go the the GI next week, and I am trying decide whether I should still go. My symptoms before going gluten-free were never too bad, as I only started going to the doctor about 5 months before I went gluten-free. I had D about once a week, tingling in hands/feet, colds about every 3 weeks. I have been gluten-free for 8 weeks now, and...

    Leah, Thank you for the link. I am off to the drugstore to get a Magnesium supplement (gluten-free of course). I too have had a chocolate craving since being gluten-free. I will be interested to see if I notice a difference. Glad you are feeling better. Mike

    Been gluten-free for 8 weeks now, no diagnosis. First 6 weeks I was getting glutened an average of about once a week - have not been glutened in 2 weeks. As a precursor, I have had normal bloodwork except for a lower than average potassium level - and normal MRI's. I am currently taking 2000 mcg B12 per day, a vitamin C tablet a day, and a multi a day...

    Been gluten-free for almost 7 weeks now (no diagnosis), and I have noticed a rapid improvement in my neurological and immune system issues. I had an episode this weekend that I don't think had anything to do with getting glutened, but I just want to get some opinions. I began having severe D (normal color) on Saturday. I took some Pepto and Immodium...

    I eat there all the time as well. I get my burrito bol plain - rice, beans, meat. Then, I add some Tabasco sauce for flavor. I know it is pretty boring, but I haven't any problems.

    Let me preface this by saying that I know for 100% certain that I have a gluten intolerance. I will also never knowingly eat gluten again. I was just wondering from my symptoms and recovery time if anyone can give me their best guess as to whether I am celiac. My great aunt is celiac, but she is the only one in my family who has been diagnosed. I am...
