    Your recent test results show an interesting pattern that may warrant further investigation. While your deamidated gliadin Abs, IgA result is within the normal range (0.9, labeled as "not detected"), your deamidated gliadin Abs, IgG is significantly elevated at 26.6, which is above the normal threshold of <15.0. This discrepancy could suggest a few possibilities...

    I'm sorry to hear you got glutened, and for many people who have been gluten-free for a long time it seems that they do get more sensitive and have worse reactions. Everyone is different in this regard, however. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

    It looks like your tTG-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) Blood Test for Celiac Disease was high, which could mean that you have celiac disease. Your doctor may want to schedule an endoscopy to confirm the results, and for this you would need to continue eating lots of gluten daily until that that is finished. Do you have any symptoms which led you to be tested...

    They do that in several countries in northern Europe as well, and they could do it here--I'm not sure why they don't.

    Welcome to the forum, could you please include the reference ranges for each test, as they vary from lab to lab...thank you!

    Most inactive ingredients in toothpastes in the USA do not include gluten. If you have concerns I recommend that you contact the manufacturer directly, or find a toothpaste that has "gluten-free" on the label, for example: https://sprinjene.com

    Most toothpastes are naturally gluten-free, but this article may be helpful:

    This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

    Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

    With NCGS there isn't villi damage, so it would not be detected via an endoscopy/biopsy. There also may not be high levels of tTG-IgA or tTG-IgG (sometimes they can be elevated, but in the normal range), but these blood tests may be slightly elevated or even high in people with NCGS: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide), but, you can still have...

    Do you happen to have the reference ranges for those blood tests, as they vary from lab to lab? Just the results don't mean much without those ranges. A gluten challenge would be the only way to get a formal diagnosis of celiac disease, and if the idea of eating lots of gluten for weeks sounds horrible to you, then you likely have either celiac disease...

    I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like you’ve been on a really challenging journey with your health. Your symptoms (stomach pains, bloating, low iron, joint pain, brain fog, etc.) do sound like they could be related to gluten sensitivity or another condition like non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). It’s interesting that your bloodwork hasn’t sh...

    Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs...

    It sounds like you’ve been through a challenging journey since your celiac diagnosis, especially with the unexpected neurologic symptoms like muscle twitching and hand tremors. While celiac disease is primarily known for gastrointestinal issues, it’s important to recognize that it can also manifest in non-GI ways, including neurological symptoms. Research has...

    The positive Anti-deamidated Gliadin IgA result (12 U/ml) suggests possible celiac disease, but it is not definitive on its own, as this marker can also be elevated in other conditions or even in non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Do you know if they also ran a tTg-Iga test? This is the definitive test for celiac disease. The absence of classical symptoms...

    You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

    Celiac disease can be tricky to diagnose, especially if you've already started eliminating gluten from your diet, as this can lead to false negative blood test results. The gold standard for diagnosing celiac is typically a combination of blood tests and an endoscopy with biopsy, but if your gastroenterologist isn't recommending further testing, it might...

    As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.
  25. Scott Adams
    By the way, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease, and if so, are you on a 100% gluten-free diet?
