    TSH does not cause nor alleviate symptoms so that does not even make sense. It is your free t's that do so (the actual hormone levels being produced by the thyroid.) Of course, if your TSH is in the high range chances are your thyroid levels will be on the low as your pituitary is stimulating your thyroid to produce more, but as I am trying to explain to...

    Did a quick look at the deamidated IgG test, it has a 74.4-86 percent sensitivity, going by that alone and the fact that the IgA was in range could clearly point to a false positive at the low elevation I had. Also It has nearly the same specificity of TTG, being not 100 percent meaning it could rise in other situations as well. Once again only an endoscopy...

    I did have the EMA, didn't notice it before, it was negative. I am not sure on the Deamidated, the doctors say it is insignificant at the level it was and is more than likely a false positive, also deamidated IgG is not 100 percent specific so there are other causes that could rise it. I will have to see with the next blood test if they are going down. Why...

    I have a question for you guys in regards to celiac and height issues. Let's say a few months down the road we find out my doctors are wrong and I do in fact have the disease. I have always been pretty short and insecure about my height, my doctor said from a young age that I would grow up to be 6'4,6'5 because of the size of my uncles and other things. Well...

    The transglutaminase is ttg, it is just the short form for it. I myself am positive that the transglutaminase was due to infection, it has really been proven to be signs of many other things when in the range I am in and considering my TSH also shot up for a while and then went back down as my doctor said I have no reason to not believe that this is also...

    "This is the first study where anti-tTG have been shown to be produced temporarily during an infectious disease, independently of coeliac disease. Acute viral infections in children and adults have long been suggested to induce an autoimmune response, including generation of autoantibodies in which their titres are low and the autoimmune course transient...

    What were your numbers exactly? Were they as low as mine? The doctors aren't completely dismissing it- they say they are elevated because of the post infectious inflammation I have and will be retesting to make sure. God I hope I don't have celiac, that would be extremely random as my stomach was fine prior and no one in my large, extended family has it....

    Yeah it is odd that I have antibodies, but 5 different doctors absolutely insisted it did not mean anything because of how low they were. The ones I spoke to said that the deamidated igg is so small that it means nothing, more likely than not a false positive, especially with the IGA in range. I also just realized that the endomysial or whatever it is was...

    There is also something else that makes me believe my doctors and doubt celiac, I feel better when I eat bread, carbs, pastas etc... I actually feel my worst when I go without eating for a while and after I eat something (with or without gluten, doesn't matter) I feel a lot better. They are redoing blood tests in 3-4 months to wait for my antibodies to go...

    My free T3 and T4 levels for thyroid were perfect, my TPO antibodies were negative. The doctor said the reason my antibodies are elevated is because of my post infectious colitis, apparently inflammation causes an transient increase in those antibodies. They said that my levels were too low to be specific for Celiac and that often the inflammation of gastroenteritis...

    Hi everyone, I recently have been getting over a bad salmonella infection that I was on 24 days of different antibiotics including flagyl for (confirmed in two different stool tests). I decided at the time since recovery has been so slow to test for IBD and celiac just in case. My doctor was very reluctant on doing so saying it is a waste of time and money...
