About Me

I have many years of symptoms of celiac disease. However, I just discovered it (2011).

After being fed up with the way I feel I went to the GI in 08/2011.

My blood and stool tests came back normal except for my tTg antibody test.

The nurse told me 3 is negative, 5 is normal, and 8-10 is positive. Mine was 10.

I have a endoscopy scheduled for 08/2011.

I have read a few things that say some...
  4. Thanks! I think I'm to follow through with the biopsy. I have it scheduled for the 31st of this month. I got the official test results in the mail which further confused me. It said: TTG Antibody, IgA: <1.0 Interpretation: Negative TTG Antibody, IgG: 10.0 U/ml Interpretation: Positive After doing some reading, I read that some people might...
  5. I just went to the GI doc on Friday (due to MANY symptoms of gluten intolerance/celiac disease for many years) and got my tests back on Tuesday. They took a blood and feces test. The nurse called me and told me everything was normal except for me tTg antibody test. She said the normal level was 5 and my level was a 10. She said that is very common for celiacs...
