  1. I am not sure but it does look like u are on the right track. At least those numbers are not increasing?
  2. For me, TTG IgA went down fast. But Anti Gliadin slower. Keep at it on the diet. I am starting to see some improvements in my muscular pains only after a few months.
  3. Ok just went for another round of testing. Gliadin igA finally at all time lowest. So it went from 55--50---47---70-----40. Is at a 40 now.70 is an anomaly? Anti ttg igA---42---20---36----20---17---14. 36 also an anomaly? this recent test includes dgp... iga igg both negatives.
  4. ANTI-ENDOMYSIAL is positive? Hmm why would the doctor stop there and not refer you to a gastro? He/She should...
  5. oh ok. Then u need to press on and have the correct celiac bloodwork done. And if positive start the gluten-free diet as soon as possible. good luck!
  6. Yea..why would the doctor test only your celiac gene ?
  7. Not sure if this post is alive. You had chicken rice and it was non gluten-free? You had the plain chicken or roasted chicken. Roasted chicken normally has soy sauce. The rice, normally doesnt.
  8. Yea this is weird but real. Now just a little bit of gluten, unintentional one can elevate the antigliadin levels, whereas anti TTG igA remains low.Is really confusing sometimes. I think TTG correlates with level of intestinal damage? Antigliadin...is very sensitve...and alot countries dont offer this test anymore, changing to DGP. Am I right?
  9. Yes i just find the final 70 value for the antigliadin to be weird because it is even higher than the initial value when i was eating like noodle and bread everyday before the first testing. So even if i have some cross contamination, it shouldnt be higher than original value? And then anti ttg igA trending downwards.... which is good.just antigliadin...
  10. Yes my doctor just say maybe still hve some gluten in diet. My TTG igA went 42--20--36--20--17. The rise to 36 midway was weird. But maybe I was testing them too closely spaced.Below 20 is negative The gliadin is the old gliadin test, not the demidated one. It went 55-50--47--70.Below 20 is negative
  11. Hi, See if any experts here can help. My test result in May 2016 was Total igA normal anti ttg igA 42 (20 is cutoff) anti gliadin igA 55 (20 cutoff) I didnt choose to have a biopsy so I just went gluten-free I took repeated test about 50 days apart and the anti ttg igA went from 42--20---36---20---17. It has become negative...
  12. So how are you feeling right now? What symptoms were you having before all this? Hope u are getting better
  13. do u have stomachache? do u get the runs? Mine is also half half sometimes still. Other than that, no other symptoms for gastro. chronic fatigue cleared in one month. though i still struggle w muscle aches. in any case, sibo will improve along w the gluten-free diet.
  14. I took 2 months for my gastro conditions to go normal. i used to have loose stools 4 days out of 7 in a week. After gluten-free, the frequency decreases. Now my stools look normal and seldom I have diarrhea. That is 2 months on. I think it takes time. work with your doctor. long time celiac might have things like sibo and candida....
  15. So what number did it start with initially for your ttg iga. Mine is 42 to start with, went down to 20 in a month then not sure up to 36, then 20, and after 4 months a 17, which is negative according to me lab (20 above is positive)
  16. Thanks ya. Before the blood tests, I was reading some papers on celiac and stiff person syndrome. I was thinking I might have celiac, so I had a lot of vitamin D3 daily. Then I went to have the bloodtests and my Vit D levels were 40 + ng/mL, in my lab anything above 30 is acceptable. I think I might be deficient initially, if I havent took like 10...
  17. Thanks cycling lady! yea last to heal is better than not healing. the worst part is not sure whether going gluten-free will solve the main issue or not. gluten-free has solved my gastro issues which werent that bad to begin with, but of course i m glad. The thing now is the stiffness
  18. I had a suspected stiff person syndrome diagnosis... so i read up on it and went to check for celiac. Amazingly yes, i was positive with antigliadin and anti ttg igA. So i went gluten-free. My gastro symptoms cleared up in about 3 months. I always thought I had IBS. Turns out is celiac, which is very rare for an asian. My back is still...
