    I understand that. I am not talking about celiac. I don't have celiac. I am having an immune response to gluten. So if I went ahead and ate gluten for the rest of my life, would I have negative silent health effects? Would my antibodies attack my other organs?
  2. suzanne*
    Exactly! Then why do THESE antibodies do that? It does not make sense to me that some antibodies would cause brain, liver, etc damage and others are completely benign.

    Is this true of all antibodies? So if someone is allergic to cats, and is around a cat, and therefore their body makes more antibodies, would the anti-cat antibodies possibly attack that person's brain, gallbladder, liver, thyroid, lymph system, etc?

    Anyone?

    Hi everyone, I have an update. All my other celiac tests were normal except the elevated anti-glidin antibodies IgA. Other tests reveal that I have prediabetes and gallstones. I am going to see a surgeon soon. I went gluten-free for a week and then ate glutn and feel fine, but that may not have been enough time gluten-free to know. 1. So...

    Thank you. I am finished all the blood tests so thought it was ok to go gluten-free. I stopped eating gluten yesterday. This morning I have had tons of D and nausea and I just threw up. I wish I knew what was wrong with me. Yesterday morning I didn't feel as bad as I did today.

    Is there any value in taking a pill like Fibercon when you are having chronic diarrhea? My doctor suggested it.

    How long can one have diarrhea before it starts to make one dehydrated and all? I am just wondering what days/weeks of this does to a person. I just started gluten-free yesterday, and from what I am reading here, it make take weeks or months to feel better. So can a person have D for months and not get dehydrated? Should I be drinking gatorade or something...

    I have not seent the results on paper. All I know is the nurse told me it was - anti gliadin IgA and anti gliadin IgG And gave me two numbers associated with those two tests (23 and 5, respectively) I can ask them Monday, when my endo-something test will be in.

    I am going gluten-free. How long before I stop having symptoms? I didn't eat any gluten yesterday (first day without it) and I woke up this morning with diarrhea. I am therefore guessing that it takes a while to get the gluten out of your system (or that I am reacting to something else, like dairy?). How long does it take to get it all out and feel better...

    Is gluten absorbed through the skin?? (I am new here and didn't know we needed to get gluten free beauty products!)

    Thank you. So what does an elevated anti gliadin IgA mean? Doesn't it mean that my body has made some antibodies to gliadin? If that is true, then the only normal test result would be 0 anti gliadin antibodies, right? Why would my Transglutaminase be totally normal if I have a gluten intolerance problem?
  13. suzanne*
    Thanks. Question-if the endo is done to detect damaged villi, why does it matter if you are on a gluten free diet or not? If you have a gluten intolerance or celiac, wouldn't they already be damaged?

    Hi everyone. I am new here and know very little about gluten and celiac, but am learning. I was just tested for celiac this week. The doctor says my results are inconclusive. Here is what I know- Transglutaminase was normal anti-gliadin AB IgA was 23 (they said anything over 17 was considered positive) anti-gliadin IgG was 5 (which is normal, they...
