Its crazy what gluten can.do to you. Doctor wants to leave it 6 months before doing another celiac blood test as it can take a while to come down and didnt want to discourage...- 1 reply

ARCHIVED Serum Alanine Aminotransfermase (ALT) high - blood test
DaveCH replied to Joff's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was diagnosed 4 weeks ago by endoscopy and then had the blood test. Strong positive for celiacs iron deficency and very slightly raised AST liver enzyme. My doctor said that the AST ties in with celiacs and is quite common with recently diagnosed celiacs. He said it was of no consequence. What did your doctor say about your ALT -
Anybody have raised liver enzymes just before diagnosis. All my liver tests where fine except my ast level was very slightly raised. GP said it was of no concequence and is quite typical with celiacs before going gluten free. I have had celiacs now confirmed by blood test and biopsies. Just wondering if this is quite a normal thing.
