    This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

    We have those as well: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/

    This has been the generally accepted idea, although there isn't enough research on the topic to be certain. Staying 100% gluten-free, thus lowering inflammation, should decrease cancer risk over time. The problem is that most celiacs are unable to be 100% gluten-free, and often get contamination in their diets.

    Untreated celiac disease is associated with arthritis and other autoimmune diseases which can cause such pain. These categories have research articles on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/fibromyalgia-and-celiac-disease/ https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related...

    Understood, and with any positive blood test the usual next step is a biopsy to confirm celiac disease, and this would be true even if the tTg-IgA is negative.

    For someone with celiac disease who might have extreme villi damage the term "cross-reactivity" gets thrown around a lot. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an...

    This test was positive according to the original post, so the next normal step would be a biopsy: TTG IGG - 9 U/mL (0-5 range) @Brown42186 Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

    Do you eat outside your home, especially in restaurants, as this can be a source of cross-contamination. If you need to take dapsone still your diet may not be 100% gluten-free. 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.):

    In Europe I believe they also do not use the beef stock flavoring which contains hydrolyzed wheat in their French fry cooking oil.

    Here are some countries where gluten-free options have been introduced: Sweden: McDonald's in Sweden was one of the first to offer gluten-free buns. Norway: Gluten-free buns are available in Norway. Finland: McDonald's in Finland also provides gluten-free options. Denmark: Gluten-free buns are available in Denmark. Spain: Some...

    At the very least this seems like it could be non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. If you want a formal diagnosis the next step would likely be an endoscopy, ...

    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:

    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...
