I am curious as to if anyone else had just positive ASCA IgG and IgA tests before they had intestinal damage?? My tests came back REALLY HIGH, IgG was 53 and IgA was 65. I know i have a gluten sensitivty, which i now follow a GF diet and that has helped some, but not all has resolved! I have all the symptoms of Crohn's (arthritis, anemia, loose stools, mouth sores, you get the picture). My doctor refuses to even try anything until i have intestinal damage. How long can all of these other symptoms last before damage begins? I have been in pain and having issues for 2 years. I haven't worked for over a year due to the joint issues (i'm allergic to NSAIDS so i can't take anything for it, that is not narcotic). Is there anything else that i could try that might help, since i can't get a doctor to treat me? My biological father had Crohn's so i know i'm predisposed especially with the antibodies now showing up.
Thanks
