Hi I got my test results and they are negative. The test was on Tissue Transglutaminase and the result was 4.0 it says normal is <20.0 So I guess that means no celiac or gluten problem? Although if I eat bread (slices, pita, etc) it goes right through me. Breadcrumbs don't seem to bother me. So I guess I'll keep avoiding the gluten and talk...

I had my blood test done yesterday and am wondering how long it takes for them to come back? Regular blood tests are usually back within a day or two, but I was curious if this takes longer? Also, does the test just test for gluten/celiac or does it test for other things? Thanks

I guess my problem is I don't know if I've actually been truly Gluten Free. The only thing I've cut out is bread and pasta - is that enough?

I talked to my doctor today via email and he's sending me in tomorrow for a test of serum transgluatminase level - is this the test everyone has mentioned? My question also is what should I eat for dinner tonight?

I've done a bunch of searches trying to find a straight forward list of Yes and no foods, but I can't seem to find one. Can someone give me a starting point? Thanks!!

Thanks for all the replies! I think it must be some kind of intolerance or allergy because I forgot to mention I get sores on my tongue too - they don't last long and you can't see them too well, but I can feel them. I'm definately going to watch the gluten this week and right down everything I eat and see if it gets better again. Then I'll talk to my doctor...

Hi I'm trying to decided if I should mention Celiac Disease/Gluten Intolerance to my doctor? I've had a bunch of tests over the years - we thought it was Gallbladder, I've been diagnosed with IBS - but nothing seems to be the right answers. My doctor recently put me on a diet to loose my unexplained weight gain and I've noticed since then I've had less...
