Celiac Scope and Labs done; what’s it looking like?!
Help discerning labs while I wait!
I have a follow up with my GI in a couple weeks. In the meantime, I’m left wondering if I’m truly celiac or not with these labs! I actually had an upper endoscopy before bloodwork due to intermittent GI distress (pain, cramping, diarrhea, mucus, and sometimes constipation) and general fatigue/ achiness. The scope found inflammation/ increased IELs (I believe Marsh 1) of my small intestine. I was tested for celiac and sibo. I did not do the gluten challenge, just had two weeks of ensuring I ate a lot of gluten and a normal-ish diet before that (maybe was somewhat low in gluten/ dairy due to me trying to avoid stomach upset).
Here is my bloodwork:
HLADQ2: positive
HLADQ8: negative
Ttg Iga: 4 u/ml (weak positive)
Immunoglobulin A: 300 mg/dl (normal)
EMA: negative
DPG IGA: 34 units (high positive)
Also mildly anemic and low in Vit D.
SIBO was also positive.
What do you think? 🤔
