Right now Im eating gluten

Iv been losing lost of weight for the past 8 months from 145 to 125 and I finally stopped at 125 but the past week I started losing even more again. Im down to 120 and I haven't changed the way I eat. Im always eating and I eat lots at every meal. I do eat healthy with very little processed type foods but I shouldn't have to eat unhealthy to keep a steady...

Alright, I guess thats what ill do then

My grandma actually does have Rheumatoid arthritis but thats the only family member I think that has an autoimmune disease that I know of. Im going to get the full celiac panel as well as a bunch of of autoimmune tests in about 2 weeks when I go see a rheumatologist. Would it be a bad idea to go ahead and start trying the gluten free diet or should I wait...

Yes I agree, They do know about my possible Celiac and I have talked to them about it. They took me to get tested and they might be able to take me this week to get the rest of the panel done.

Well thats good, I'v just read a lot of things about how a gluten free diet is a lot more expensive and stuff. Im probably going to see if I can get the full celiac panel done sometime soon but if not then I'm going to go ahead and try the diet.

I don't really care for an official diagnosis cause if it makes me feel better than its worth it and an official diagnosis wouldn't really matter. But since I'm only 16 and I'm not the one who buys the food, I'm not sure if my parents would start spending all the money to buy a bunch of gluten free food for me to eat to replace our heavy gluten diet, if I...

Do you think I should go back to the doctor and get the full celiac panel done or just try a gluten free diet?

One more thing I forgot to add is that I have been losing weight too, Though I haven't ever been able to gain weight no matter what I ate. Then only thing I can gain is muscle but I had to stop working out because of joints. I was at 145 8 months ago and now I am 125. I know I lost most of my muscle but it just seems like Im really losing a lot of weight...

Thats ok, and i didn't mean to post my reply to you answer twice, i just joined and wasn't sure if i posted the reply right I got tested for celiac and a bunch of other things including some other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms i was having have been iv been having a lot of joint problems for about 8 months. Iv always been hypermobile but never had pain...

Ok i understand now, thanks for explaining If i go back and get those tests done and it comes back negative, does that mean i can rule out being celiac. Or can it all be false negative?

I was tested for IgA though wasn't I? and I wasn't deficient right?

? But i did get the IgA didn't I? And i wasn't deficient right?

I had a blood test for celiac and my results were gliadin ab, deamidated IgG: 2.3 < 20 gliadin ab deamidated IgA: 6.5 ,20 My blood tests are negative but i have read on here people saying to make sure to get the full celiac panel, which i didn't do. So is this still an accurate test without the rest of the panel?
