I have recently been diagnosed with Barretts esophagus, Hashimotos, Addisons and Celiac disease. I am feeling beyond overwhelmed. I have always thought I was a healthy person . My blood test for celiac was strong positive for Tissue transglutaminase and Deamidated glidian. My biopsy was normal. I am wondering if those other diseases could cause a positive...

ARCHIVED Positive Blood And Negative Biopsy

Hello, I was a strong positive on the Tissue transglutaminase and moderate positive on the deamidated gliadin. Can other things cause these to be high? -
ARCHIVED Positive Blood And Negative Biopsy
Holly4 replied to Holly4's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I had a follow up appointment with my GI and he only did one biopsy of my small intestine. It was near the top as well....I am so frustrated. He said it looked normal when he went in there and I think he just assumed it was fine. He did find that I have a problem with reflux which was news to me! He had also told me I could go gluten free 2 weeks before... -
ARCHIVED Positive Blood And Negative Biopsy
Holly4 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Excactly what I didn't want to happen has happened...I have a postive blood test for celiac and my biopsy came back as normal. My GI says no way do I have celiac. I have been gluten free for about 4 days. Now I don't know what to do. I don't want to be gluten free if I don't have to, but I also dont want to not go gluten-free if I really have celiac. I would... -

ARCHIVED Candida Or Celiac
Holly4 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had a neighbor tell me yesterday that I don't have celiac, I have Candida. I had never heard of Candida and so I did some research. I found that the symptoms are very similar to Celiac. Many of my main symptoms like brain fog, numbness and tingling in my hands and feet, headaches, constipation are all symptoms of both. I have also had a yeast infection... -
ARCHIVED Can Symptoms Get Dangerously Worse?
Holly4 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It seems like all of my doctors think you have to have had symptoms for a long time in order to have celiac. I have a positive blood test and am waiting for my biopsy which is in another month. I got sick with strep then the stomach flu. My diarrhea wouldn't go away so they tested for celiac and here I am.... I feel like my symptoms keep getting worse... -
ARCHIVED Numbness And Tingling....docs Dont Know...help Again Please!
Holly4 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I recently got a weak positive on my deamidated gliadin and a strong positive on my tissue transglutaminase. I have numbness and tingling in my hands and feet that seems to be getting worse! My right hand pinky is completely numb. My doc thought is was a b-12 deficiency but my b-12 was good. All my vitamin levels are okay. Does that mean its not celiac? I... -
I am really in need of some answers....I don't know if I have Celiac disease or not. I had strep twice in a row. Followed by a week of terrible diarrhea. I have always had problems with constipation and gas/bloating. I asked my doc to test for celiacs. He said he would but that I probably didn't have it. My tissue transglutaminase came back as a stong positive...
