Just had a letter through from the Celiac team, they’ve diagnosed me through my bloods, no endoscopy/biopsy needed.

I guess I’ll be sticking around on this forum and I’m sure I’ll be back soon.

thanks for all your help 

Perfect, I guess I won’t know for certain until I know if I need a endoscopy/biopsy.

My father is also celiac so I’m guessing that’s where I’ve got it from. My doctors has told me to start a gluten free diet which I’m 4 days into but it would be nice if I could have my last hurrah at eating gluten again. I’ll ring in the morning and ask if she’s referred me for an endoscopy/biopsy.

Hello Dc91 and welcome to the forum!

Could you first just add the lab ranges for us for your TTG IgA Antibodies as they vary?

Hi Cristina,

0-6.9 is normal range and I’m >100

earlier this evening I got a new result through for Endomysial IgA antibody = Weak positive. 
 

 

 

Sorry I should have said these bloods were taken Friday morning, a week after the first initial bloods. So I hadn’t starved myself of gluten before these bloods were taken. 

Hi all, I’m new here and completely new to celiac. 

last week I went to my doctors for acid reflux issues, she also took bloods and sent them off. Last Thursday I got my TTG IgA Antibodies test come back as >100u/ML which the doctor has referred me to the celiac team at my local hospital. I have stopped eating gluten since Friday morning. (I’m guessing this will take weeks or months to be seen)

I’m guessing this gives me the difinitive answer I’ve been looking for? A positive is a positive.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
