The gluten free was after the first blood test probably a year and a half ago to see if there would be any improvement. I just cut out all gluten and focused of fruits/veggies/meats...anything else I ate was specifically gluten free.

Thanks so much for all your responses. Some of this stuff is a bit confusing so I appreciate the feedback. I'll be talking to the dr to see what I need to do. I tried gluten free for a few weeks a while back, but didn't notice anything major. What should I notice and how long should it be before I notice a change? I had someone tell me it takes 6 months....

Hi, thank you for the responses. The blood work was done by my neurologist/headache specialist. I go back for a follow up on the 30th. His notes said to follow up with PCP about all of the items I mentioned in the original post. Most of the things seem sort of non-specific... so I don't really know how they related to each other or my overall health/current...

A while back I had a celiac panel done and one came back slightly elevated and I had the gene test done and it was negative. Fast forward and I just had some other blood work done and celiac testing was included. I attached a picture, but total IgA was 65 considered high risk. The four other sub test were normal. Can someone please help me understand what...

Hi Everyone, I was tested a while back for celiac and the TTG IgG was the only thing that came back positive so that dr suspected I had celiac. I requested the genetic test which came back negative. So, doesn't that mean I don't have it? Any other causes for slightly elevated TTG IgG? I have fibromyalgia and chronic migraines (or neuralgia not sure which...

SMRI , thank you for the information! Still waiting to hear something from the doctor. I believe total IgG was run as well and the only thing for total overall that came back low was IgA. But, I will definitly check. Side note - I ate some cheesecake (with a graham cracker crust) last night and got a latte from starbucks to see what might happen... Nothing...

Hello SMRI, I had my total IgA measured by my allergy doctor right before all the blood work this doctor did. My levels were 55 and the test normal range was 90 something to 400 something. Thank you for your response...I'm waiting to hear back from the doctor to discuss the results and see what she says about next steps.

RMJ, thank you for the response...I felt a little uncomfortable with the initial diagnosis based on only the weak positive. It is a bit frustrating since I have cut out all gluten over the last couple weeks. I can't tell a difference at this point. I thought I finally had an answer and it looks like I'm back at the drawing board. I'm worried the doctor is...

I'll try to make this short... I was tested a few weeks ago via blood work for a variety of things and tested weak positive for TTG IgG. Also had low vitamin D and have low overall IGA. I had gone to the doctor because at 16 I had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and now almost 32 I wanted to verify that was the correct diagnosis. Based on the bloodwork the...

Hello, I had gone to the doctor for a second opinion of a fibromyalgia diagnosis I received at 16 years old (now almost 32). I have low overall IgA serum, low D, and tested positive on the TTG IgG celiac test. My doctor told me to go gluten free and did not mention further testing. I thought about asking to do the endoscopy, but I'm not sure if it's worthwhile...

Thank you Cycling Lady...that information is very helpful. Thank you Bartfull...I am happy to have the diagnosis, but also want to understand what it means and the test results and how it relates to the other issues I mentioned. Thank you for the information regarding the newbie forum I will definitely check it out.

Hello, I recently had blood work done and I'm a bit confused by the results and was hoping to see if anyone could help figure it out... I tested weak positive on TGG IgG but negative on everything else. My doctor says I need to go on a gluten free diet and I have celiac disease. Additionally, I had some blood work done at my allergy doctor a few weeks prior...
