Common causes of folic acid deficiency incluOpen Original Shared Link poor diet and alcoholism.

I am in Ireland and can not afford tests.This was covered by my medical card (medical insurance)... I looked online that TTG ranges from 00 to to 2.9 as far as I remeber. However, could it be possible that because I am not the bigest bread lover so myantibodies were low? I ate tons of gluten fro about 3 weeks prior testing.. I also found that I am lactose...

I just knew it, that she ordered wrong tests.EMA is missing right?There is no range on the actusl sheet for celiac..Is it worth it to go back on gluten?I fed up with all this crap.... I think I will go with gluten free diet and will see how it goes.What do You think? And the liver are all fine. ALT range - 21-72 but I heard that it should be low.No?

I have no idea what blood tests I had. I know that IGA and EMA as well as CBC, Iron, folic acid, thyroid all of them a WITHIN THE NORMAL LIMITS. But the sentence it self gives me some wondering.

I had been bitten by two ticks when I was a kid, will try and will get tested for Lymes disease, also Lupus.. Even though it is less common in men.. If You wont mind I...

So the blood tests came back all normal! I am lost and depressed. My GP says its one hundred percent not celiac and it is just stress. I am 14th day of gluten free. Feel a little better ,but I dont know if its gluten or not. I will stick to gluten challenge at least for few months.. I am so lost and just want to cry. GP told that all the tests are within...

Hey, thank You for Your reply.For me the hair loss started when I was 8 years old. I used to get oval bald patches, which used to regrow. When I hit 19 my eyebrow started to dissappear.At the age of 22 I lost all my hair. And now, my naills ar affected.. I did gluten challenge few months ago. I had my hair regrowing after 2 weeks on gluten-free diet. It was...
