I have just recently realised the link between celiacs and hyperthyroidism. My Mother, Nanna and great grandma have all had their thyroids removed because of this. Now i am wondering I am pretty much certain i have celiacs disease (to be confirmed next week) however if i do go gluen free now is it still possible to get hyperthyroidism later on in life...

Hi, Sorry i should have clarified it abit better. I have had 2 seperate blood tests over the past 9 months. First one was the EMA (weak) and TTG (5 when anything >5 was weakly positive) 9 months ago Then i have had another one recently that came back for ttg 39 when anything over 20 was weakly positive or positive cannot remember which...

Well i managed to sneak a copy of my results off my GP before i see my specialist next week so here are my results: I have had weakly positive blood tests for the past 8 - 9 months so I am pretty much certain that i am going to be diagnosed with celiacs and i understand the villi bits but the rest i have no idea, can anyone please enlighten me...

Even though they only took 1 biopsy? which i must say i thought they would have taken 3 or 4 but anyway my question is if it is still possible to have a positive biopsy if i looked okay? I just cannot understand after having the positive (although weak) blood work and now having had gastroscopy which when i came round they said i looked perfectly healthy...

I was exactly the same Even more so when i was waiting at the hospital and after waiting for 3 hours i told them i was going home, as i didnt want to wait anymore. (me bawling my eyes out too) Well it turns out because i was the youngest (i am 23) i was the last person on the list! So the lovely nurse pulled a few strings and 10 minutes later i was...

Thank you for all your replies, they are appreciated. I went and saw my specialist today, he has confirmed that the blood tests were positive for celiacs and has managed to book me in for the biopsy on the 23rd of December bit close to christmas but i dont care would rather get this over and done with. In regards to the waiting times over here in australia...

Abit of a long story but anyway it started 6 months ago with a blood test showing low ferratin levels, i was then tested for celiacs by way of a TTG and EMA blood test both of which came back weakly positive (ttg anything <5 was negative mine was 5 and the ema was weak) The specialist i was referred to said that he didnt think i had it because i had no...

Hi, Sorry for more questions but now i am more confused than before! I had a blood test and my ferratin (?) level was quite low (20-120 being normal mine was 10) I tested weakly positive on my blood test for celiacs: EMA was weak ttg level was 5 with anything <5 being neg. I went and saw the specialist today and he basically told me that there...

Hi, I am new to this but was hopping someone could please help me out with my results: Endomisial A : WEAK (EMA??) transglutaminase : 5 units Down the bottom it says that transglutaminase <5 units is neg, 5-8 is weak positive. Are these two different tests or the one? What sort of possiblility am i looking at that i do have celiacs? ...
