    I just wanted some other opinions about some testing I have had done, about a year ago I had blood tests which showed low IgA but positive IgG for celiac, I then had a biopsy which was negative but I went on the gluten free diet anyways (after all testing was complete). About 6 months after going gluten free I had to follow up with a hematologist about the...

    Yeah I will definitely give it some more time, thanks for the advice. I just figured that because the endoscopy was negative that things would improve quickly if it was only an intolerance to gluten as the test ruled out celiac. And I have also eliminated dairy. I have been lactose intolerant for years but have become significantly more sensitive to all forms...

    I have not really felt better on the diet, although its only been a week, I've actually been a little worse in terms of GI symptoms but my headaches have gone away, that's the only improvement so far. And the only blood work that I have had done is the initial blood work where my IgA serum was very low/deficient and my IgG was positive.

    Biopsies from endoscopy/colonoscopy all came back negative, just some mild gastritis, so now what? He said to stick with the gluten free dairy free diet, which I have been doing for a week now and my headaches have gone away, but none of my other symptoms have improved at all. So now I don't know what to do from here. Everything was negative so if its not...

    Just finished my endoscopy a few hours ago, doctor said that he noticed irritation to the lining of my stomach but not my small intestine, he advised me to start a gluten free diet and is waiting for results for the biopsies (4 from the stomach, 4 from the small intestines), is it normal to have irritation to my stomach lining and not actually in the small...

    Thank you all for the quick responses, I don't think an endo is going to happen tomorrow but I don't know what other tests they may run so I was just curious. I know the celiac panel does not require fasting but didnt know if there would be tests for anemia or other vitamin deficiencies that did require fasting. The way I've felt for the last couple days...

    So this is very last minute and any help would be fantastic, but I have my first appointment with a GI doc tomorrow morning and need some advice. Should I be fasting before this appointment or does it not matter? Please let me know, Thanks!

    Thanks again for the advice, but now I have another question; After further testing I am not IgA deficient, so the two IgA tests were valid and were both negative but the IgG is still positive. Does anyone know If there another cause for a positive IgG other than celiac? I don't have all the symptoms of celiac, I am not anemic, the only vitamin deficiency...

    Alright so my doctor has just referred me to a Gastroenterologist. My question is this; A few days ago I decided to attempt a gluten free diet, to see if it made any difference (after 2 days, it has not but I did not expect improvement quickly). Should I continue with the gluten free diet before following up with the GE doc, or will he want more blood tests...

    Okay so I will have to request more IgG related. blood tests then. 6 or higher was considered positive for the test my doctor ran, sorry i thought they all would have the same reference range. My doctor failed to even address these results and my symptoms still seem very mild for an extreme diagnosis such as this (Gas bloating, occasional diarrhea, as well...

    Thank you all for the quick responses, sorry I did not put the units or anything for the tests results, yes George, it is in u/ml TTG IgA: 1 U/ml Immunoglobulin A: <15 reference range 81-463 mg/dl TTG IgG: 9 U/ml

    Hello, I am new here, thank you all in advance for the advice. I just got the blood tests back from my doctor and he neglected to even mention the results from the celiac panel that he ran. After having the nurse print a copy of all of the results, I noticed 2 abnormalities in the findings and under the interpretation it is noted, "Serological evidence...
