Hi,
After years of struggling with the following symptoms- (I have all of the typical symptoms of celiac with an exception of the diareah-- instead I have CHRONIC severe constipation, fatigue, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism (which is controlled with meds-- but my thyroid perodase antibodies were over 1,000 range 0-35) 3 early miscarriages). I got bloodwork done to see if I have celiac ... I am not sure if it measure gluten sensitivity/intolerance... but I am hoping for someone's thought's on my results. (I was gluten free for only a day before the test was taken- and I had a piece of light wheat toast the morning I went for the bloodwork --that all probably doesn't have much effect though as overall- I am sure that I have consumed a lot of gluten of the 4th of JUly weekend).
BTW- I got the results and have yet to hear from my doc regarding them. Thanks for your help:
GLIADIN IGA.....3 (Reference Range: 17 Positive)
GLIADIN IGG...<3 (Reference Range: same as above)
RETICULIN IGA.....NEGATIVE
TTG IGA.....<3 (Reference Range: 8 Positive
ENDOMYSIAL AB..........NEGATIVE
IGA....290
TTG IGG....<3
So do you think I shouldn't go this route anymore -- or do you think I may still have concerning matters with gluten to figure out? How accurate are these results? Should I have ANY GLIADIN IGA anyway?
Thanks
Dawn
