ARCHIVED Blood Test Results - 2 Weeks In To Gluten Challenge
charlie76 replied to charlie76's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It's been quite a while since my last update. I did in fact finish my gluten challenge and had a biopsy in September 2013. The outcome of my "gluten challenge" last year was a negative biopsy. The gastroenterologist who I was referred to came to the conclusion (despite the blood tests and symptoms) that I don't have coeliac disease and that it's okay... -

Thanks Nicole. I didn't specifically get any more health issues come up, but I went back to speak to my doctor as I still get "IBS" symptoms when I deviate from my diet (my normal diet is somewhere between gluten free with some gluten-free grains and paleo. I avoid dairy most of the time and try to avoid all grains where possible). I often have issues... -
ARCHIVED Blood Test Results - 2 Weeks In To Gluten Challenge

ARCHIVED Think It's Time To Abandon The Gluten Challenge
charlie76 replied to Poppi's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, I'm in a very similar position to you. Today is day 11 of gluten for me. I too think I might be overindulging and also want to make sure I get a positive result if I do have Celiac. From what you've described, your symptoms sound worse than mine. I've got lots of symptoms but they're not too severe yet although I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow to discuss... -
ARCHIVED Blood Test Results

Thanks for your reply, Nicole. It was very helpful. And It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one in this position. Only 4 more weeks until my biopsy and I can't wait so I can go back to gluten-free again. The symptoms I'm getting in addition to gastrointestinal problems include headaches, feeling slightly nauseous when I wake, sleeplessness... -
ARCHIVED Blood Test Results
charlie76 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi all, I'm trying to understand my blood test results from a couple of years ago. I'm in Australia. The results are as follows: Coeliac Serology Gliadin IgA Abs * 47 U/mL ( 0 - 20 ) tTG IgA/IgG * 52 U/mL ( 0 - 20 ) Since the blood test I have been gluten free and feeling so much better. I did have a biopsy after the...
