Thanks for your answer! I will talk to my doctor about that stuff. Sorry but I have to repeat this question since it's really important for me and my diagnosis:

Thanks for your answer. Could even the amount of 23.1 even though being in the normal range for my GAF - 3X Elisa antibodies (I believe, it's DGP IgA) be an indication of my "immune system still making me sick"? I mean, the fact remains: My blepharitis (eye condition) doesn't feel better after being gluten-free for 9 months. What do you think...

Not sure what you guys are talking about but here in germany we have this: Open Original Shared Link However, this brewery apparently removes the gluten from the already brewed beer. Therefore it hasn't anything to do with "gluten-free barley" even though it indeed is brewed with barley. Edit: The brewery "Lammsbräu" that produces this gluten-free beer ...

Thanks for your answer! My doctor agrees that my situation is not easy to evaluate. She suggested either making a gluten-challenge once again to see if the IgA-antibodies go up again or conducting a gene-test. According to her a negative gene-test would mean that it is "extremely unlikely", nearly impossible that I have celiac. 1. Out of 5!...

Hello, it's probably the best to just dig this up. Check out post#1 for my initial test results. So, atfer being gluten-free for about 9 months now (my doctor suggested 6-12 months to wait since my symptoms are probably only influenced slowly by gluten, if at all) I have done another blood-test. The results are basically as displayed in the test...

Thanks for your answers! What exactly do you mean by the advice to "not overdo the gluten"? Can it influence the biopsy result in a negative way or is it "just" about my health maybe being unecessarily damaged if I eat too much gluten during the challenge?

Hello, currently I'm doing a gluten challenge for the biopsy I'll have to take in about a month. Since I generally eat extremely healthy I decided to make the gluten challenge a little bit more comfortable by eating burgers, pizza, etc. - stuff that I normally don't eat. My question is: Are products like pizza, burger, cookies, etc. as good as...

Hello, just wanted to thank you for your answer. Hadn't had the time to visite this site, so I just saw your post. However, I already arranged an appointment for a biopsy. Since the doctor has some vacation time during the middle of august, I'm gonna have the biopsy in about 2 months from now. This means that I will have had an 8-week gluten-challenge...

Hello, I just would like to push this thread a little bit. Maybe no one saw my last question because I edited too late!? I would be really thankful for an answer! Best Regards, rimsch

Thanks for all your help! I can't really be sure about that. I believe that some of the symptoms have improved. But the placebo effect is empirically proven and I also know how great I would feel about having a gluten-intolerance (finally a solution for my problems): I don't trust my own judgement on this issue (at least not after only...

Hello, there is probably no "right" answer to my question but since this forum is full of experienced celiacs I thought I could give it a try. As I already explained in another topic ( https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/108035-interpretation-of-test-results/ ) I did have a blood test for gluten-intolerance and it was partly positive. (One pretty...

Thanks for your effort, I really appreciate that! And for everyone else who knows more about these things (especially if other diseases can cause false positive dgp-tests; and if there are such diseases it logically would be interesting to know which diseases we are talking about) , feel free to post. I would be very thankful!

Thanks for your answer! The link I posted ( Open Original Shared Link ) says: " Recently, areas of gliadin could be identified against which only patients with coeliac disease and not healthy individuals develop antibodies. These areas were fused by means of biomolecular methods (Institute of experimental Immunology, Luebeck, Germany) and as recombinant...

Sorry, for posting again but is there really no one who can tell me something about my test results? It would be very nice cause I'm just not sure about how to interpret these results.

Hello, I got the results of my blood tests but I'm not quite sure how to interpret them. I hope you are able to make use of the german expressions (hope they are similar to the english ones) since I don't want to translate them because I don't know enough about celiac testing to this in an appropriate way. celiac-antibodies ...
