    Hang in there. IBS is just a symptom that something is making your bowel irritable. Most likely it is gluten. On biopsy with celiac there is typically "scalloping" of the folds which is possibly the reason the nurse mentioned them. A mark for the nurse for knowing that -- not many do. If your brain fog disappeared along with the gluten that is another...

    This does not make sense either. You can do both at the same time. The genes are NOT affected by lack of gluten What is he talking about??? Edited to say: Just saw Lisa's reasoning; hadn't considered he might be persuaded to do another biopsy, in which case continue with the gluten

    Humira is all I can do, too. I have been down all the other streets, all the DMARDS, NSAIDs until I went into kidney failure, Plaquenil made my psoriasis flare really badly although it helped with joints. Leflunomide had gluten in it... or if not it might as well have I have had periods when I have had to stop taking Humira and I keep thinking, hey, the...

    This report (or did he not take any biopsy samples and send them to pathology? If he did not he would not know if everything was fine )

    I was also diagnosed with sero-negative RA initially, later modified to psoriatic arthritis once the psoriasis appeared, which often tests RF negative. I have been taking Humira for four years now and it is an immunosuppressant - specifically it inhibits TNF (tumor necrosing factor) and I do not believe it would affect your autoimmune antibodies but I don...

    Jonathon just sent me a snapshot of his test results and those IgG, IgA and IgM numbers relate to his H. pylori testing. Absolutely no celiac testing was done, just a complete metabolic panel and H. pylori, of which the IgG was one point out of range. As Lisa said, the low amylase could reflect gluten's negative impact on the pancreas (this is one of the...

    I don't tolerate it either, Lisa. Could be the lectins

    With the exception of the tTG, those are definitely negative results. Even your low normal total IgA isn't that bad, although suspicious. Your pathology report indicated inflammation throughout your upper GI tract (anything with -itis on the end indicates inflammation, and that is often one of the first signs of celiac. He did take samples from all the...

    Oh dear, Chris, it is no wonder you are confused. Anyone would be in your situation. I will try to give you answers as best I can. I'm not sure what you mean by a negative IgA. Would that be the AGA IgA test? You then say your total IgA was in the low normal range. Can you give us the result and the range? Ranges are good, but they don't fit all...

    Allergy is EpiPen time. Allergy is making my hubs drive himself to the ER when his throat started closing, because I had never had a driver's license at that point, and having them jab his arm as he was walking in They are definitely not talking about allergy here, but it does make it sound more dramatic, if... totally WRONG
