  1. Update - All of the parasite, H. Pylori and other tests came back negative so my Doctor is sending me to a GI doctor for a colonoscopy, endoscopy and biopsies. Mainly it is to search for Celiac Disease but it is also to look and see if they can find anything else wrong, in case it isn't Celiac, though my Doctor seems to think it could likely be Celiac. The...
  2. Thank you for the reply. I will read the thread you linked me to since I am not sure which one you were saying yes to... ~ Thursday
  3. Hello everyone, I just have a question because I have seen some conflicting information online. So I was wondering, is it possible to have negative antibody tests and a positive biopsy? That is of course prior to going Gluten Free, as it would certainly be possible at that point. I am just confused because I read that Antibody tests can only confirm you...
  4. Hello Corabelle, Yes, I agree with NoGlutenCooties, we really need the reference ranges used by the lab that performed your tests. I will add to that though, that there are quite a few more blood tests that can be useful in evaluating Celiac Disease and if you wanted, you could consider asking your doctor for a more complete panel. If you do get the other...
  5. pricklypear1971 - Thank you so much for your reply! It was like a light switch turned on when you said that I "Went Into Remission" - During pregnancy! I had no idea that AI's could cause remission during pregnancy, nor did I even make the connection that I could've been in remission. All I knew was that I felt incredible while I was pregnant, I had an...
  6. Hello nvsmom, Thank you for the insight. I really appreciate your reply! I have been eating gluten since roughly August of 2012 and the IgA and TTG-IgA tests were run 3 days ago on January 10th, 2014. I have had my TSH tested a couple times since 2009 because I have been feeling unwell for that long. They always come back within normal ranges and I have...
  7. Hello everyone, (Warning: Extremely Long Post!) I am brand new to the forum and quite the confusing case. My not feeling well all began in late 2009 with extreme brain fog, mild tummy issues, mainly stomach burning and fatigue. I began breaking out in strange rashes off and on and seemed to be having peculiar reactions to food. At first I was so confused...
  8. Hello all, I am new to the board and don't post much but I really wanted to reply to this thread. Any of you with "food getting stuck in your throat" symptoms been checked out for EE? Eosinophilic Esophagitis? According to NIH.gov it is also an autoimmune disorder, like Celiac Disease and other AI's - only different. EE effects the throat and esophagus. My...
  9. I am new to this whole thing and correct me if I am wrong but if someone has been gluten free for 8 months, wouldn't that potentially make antibody testing (Blood or Saliva) invalid? I am under the impression that you must be consuming gluten for the tests to be truly accurate and that your body can only produce the antibodies when you are exposed to gluten...
  10. Great article, very informative! Thank you for posting this.
