ARCHIVED Testing For Gluten Intolerance?
terribeth07 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you test negative for Celiacs, is there a test for gluten intolerance? I saw an add for allergy testing & they mentioned food sensitivities. Are they able to test for food intolerances the same way they test for regular allergies? -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free
terribeth07 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Since Celiacs has started become more known & diagnosed, I know that some regular food companies are beginning to make their food gluten free. Does anyone have a list of some regular food, including cereal, that has become gluten free? I know Chex has come out with a gluten free rice chex. I'm trying to avoid having to purchase everything from a whole... -
ARCHIVED Test Results- Help!
terribeth07 replied to terribeth07's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks again for your help! This is just so frusterating especially since I thought I might get some results but then he didn't even do the entire test. I have an appointment with my GI doctor on Wednesday so I guess I will discuss all with him & see what he thinks. I have just been trying to rush everything because my health insurance is sky rocketing... -

terribeth07 replied to terribeth07's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for your help! The Reference they show are: 19 Units or less: Negative 20-30 Units: Weak Positive 31 Units or greater: Positive Since they didn't do the full panel, does this really tell me anything? -
ARCHIVED Test Results- Help!
terribeth07 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ok so I gave in & finally called my dr to see which tests they ran & they said the results came back normal. I don't think they did the full panel. I asked them to send me a copy of the results. Gliadin Peptide Ab, IgA - 1 unit Gliadin Peptide AB, IgG - 4 units Thoughts? I'm just afraid that because they didn't do the full panel it's... -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Know How Much Blood They Take For Test?
terribeth07 replied to terribeth07's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for your advise. I think I will just wait for the results to come in & find out if he did the full panel. They took the bloodwork on Monday, so I'm hoping & praying that the results come in on Monday. I have an appoinment with my GI doctor on Wednesday so I would really like to have the results when I go so we can either rule it out or go... -

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Know How Much Blood They Take For Test?
terribeth07 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I just had blood taken on Monday & they only took 2 viles of blood. Does anyone know if that is enough to do the complete panel or do you think they only did a partial? I don't want to call & ask because I've called there so much lately. I just called my doctors office last week & asked if the doctor could do some blood work to check for celiacs... -
Thanks, I went to the doctor before I got this reply. I didn't see the doctor, the nurse just took the blood & I left. They took 2 viles of blood. Do you think that is all they needed run all of those tests? I'm hoping he is doing the full panel & not just a portion. They said 7-10 days for results. I'm hoping for 7 because I have an appointment...

I'm going to my family doctor today to have him take some blood to test for celiacs & food allergies. Are there specific tests I need to make sure he is running or will he know what he's doing? I'm just afraid b/c he's not a specialist he may not run exactly what I need to find the answers.

This is just my family doctor that is doing the blood work. Are there any questions I should ask or anything to bring up before the blood work?

My doctors going to do some blood work today to check for celiacs & other food allergies. Do I need to fast or anything before? Any other advise before going? I have not discussed celiacs with my doctor yet, I just called & asked if he could do some blood work to check for celiacs or other food allergies.

I have an appointment with my GI doctor on May 20th & I'm going to have him run a blood test. Is it possible for gluten to make you sick sometimes & other times you eat it you're fine?

I have had stomach problems for 5 years. A year ago my doctor determined my problem could possibly be my gallbladder. The HIDA scan I had showed abnormal which could or could not mean a problem. I decided to just have it taken out to be safe. That was last April. I was doing good until this December when I started to have nausea & diahrea on &...
