Okay, thank you so much for looking. I suppose I can throw all hope that I don't have celiac out the window now then and start focusing on going gluten free. Much appreciated!

Hey, sorry! The doctor caught me completely by surprise. I was just going in for a colonoscopy to screen for cancer (it runs in my family) and I didn't know he did a ttg iga test at that point. Just before I was about to get sedated for the colonoscopy (which didn't WORK, btw! I was awake and lucid for the whole thing!) he goes 'Oh by the way, you...

So I had a blood test and this is what I got: Tissue Transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A (IgA): 25 U/mL Abnormal <=14 ... though when I talked to the Dr he said it's supposed to be 1.

Hi there! So I went to a gastro at 41 because Colon Cancer runs in my family. I did blood work before going in to do it on Monday. First thing the dr says to me before the colonoscopy is "you have celiac!" ...I said "excuse me?" He told me about my blood test results. I faught him and said it can't possibly be. He said well we will take a biopsy...
