    My antibody levels are a weak positive

    Thank you, that’s what I have been trying to figure out. It doesn’t make sense to me that I would be making antibodies specific to celiac disease if I don’t have celiac disease Thank you, that’s what I have been trying to figure out. It doesn’t make sense to me that I would be making antibodies specific to celiac disease if I don’t have celiac dise...

    So you feel like these physical symptoms are a reaction to gluten?
  4. Ginger38
    Yes I’ve been doing both
  5. Ginger38
    Thank you for your reply and this great information. I was so incredibly sick just trying to eat gluten here and there to see if I could even go back on it for an endoscopy…. the severe brain fog and exhaustion kept me from being able to work. And then I started having palpitations and SVT again which also kept me from working. I don’t see how it’s even ...

    Thanks this helps, but I guess what I am trying to figure out is whether or not I would have TTG-IGA antibodies present in my blood if I don’t have celiac. I have understood all along that a weak positive is still a positive. I don’t understand why I would have positive TTG IGA antibodies present / positive in my blood if I do not actually have celiac. ...

    Thanks, that makes sense. Just still doesn’t answer my lingering question/confusion about my antibody test
  8. Ginger38
    I’m a tad confused. This is great information you provided but I’m still confused.. when you say you tested wonky what do you mean? Again I don’t understand how celiac / autoimmune diseases work but I didn’t think it was possible to have TTG-IGA antibodies present even as a weak positive and not have celiac disease
  9. Ginger38
    Thanks! Interesting read. I guess all this just confuses me. I thought even a weak positive tTG-IgA indicated celiac disease. I didn’t think there were false positives
  10. Ginger38
    Yes, I feel like I have been traveling down this road for a long time. I have had weak positive tTG IgA tests twice. The first result was 8, which was flagged as high, and the range was in the weak positive (4-10). I just had it retested recently after this rollercoaster gluten free diet I’ve been on. The level had come down 1 point. That’s it. It’s sti...

    Thank you. This makes sense
  12. Ginger38
    Oh sorry, my bad- thanks for clarifying!!
  13. Ginger38
    I have posted on here several times before, but just a recap, I was tested and had positive TTG-IGA antibodies around 2015. I was told I absolutely did NOT have Celiac and only was intolerant of gluten but to go on a gluten-free diet which I did, but I was also told at one point to not continue a gluten free diet bc my glucose went up. I have only continued...

    Will NCGS cause positive TTG-IGA antibodies? I thought that wasn’t the case
  15. Ginger38
    I feel physically and mentally absolutely terrible. My muscles are tender to touch. Im extremely exhausted. I can’t focus or work. Yesterday I was in the bathroom all day. Is this a normal reaction to gluten consumption even if it’s not a huge amount? If so how long does this last? Ive been in tears I feel so poorly and I’m scared I’m not going to get bac...
  16. Ginger38
    Thanks. I am so confused by all this. Are the regulations different here than in the UK? I live in the states but I watch people on you tube in the UK with celiac disease and a lot of the products sold there have wheat starch

    So is Digiorno gluten free pizza safe or not?? I was so excited to finally find these at a local store I bought 4. I fixed one last night and have been in the bathroom all day. Not sure if it’s the pizza or something else. But I’m feeling poorly and very discouraged 🫤
  18. Ginger38
    Wow, that is a challenge- so sorry to hear. If you don’t mind me asking, what do you eat?
  19. Ginger38
    Yes
  20. Ginger38
    I can’t get lance crackers anywhere
  21. Ginger38
    I have had them on the right as well. I am hoping what I am feeling on the left is just related to gluten as well
  22. Ginger38
    Are Cheddars tortilla chips that they serve with their queso gluten free? I can’t find this Information anywhere. Some places use corn but I wasn’t sure about Cheddars..
  23. Ginger38
    Seems like sometimes mine is localized to like the left lower side and spreads all over at some point with little sharp stabbing pains.. idk if that’s gas pains or what
  24. Ginger38
    Where is the abdominal pain usually located with gluten consumption / celiac disease?
  25. Ginger38
    Thank you for this information. I wasn’t aware these were a risk
