I have been sick for a very long time. Over 20 years. I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and adrenal insufficiency for which I take thyroid meds and Prednisone. I seem to not absorb nutrients well, as I struggle with low Vit. D, Vit. B, iron, etc... and have to liquid or powders or easily dissolvable pills for them to have any effect on me.
I have heartburn often, and bloated stomach, which is sensitive to anyone or anything pressing on my stomach. I look pregnant even though I am not. I had lab work done last year for food allergies, and I am allergic to about 60 different food items.
I had a Celiac Panel done in 2011, which was normal. I wonder though if the results would have been accurate since I had already been on Prednisone for about 4 years by then?
Here are my results:
Transglutaminase IGA : 3.8 (<20)
IGA : 187 (68-378)
Gliadin IGA : 1.6 (<20)
Gliadin IGG : 16.0 U/ml (<20)
Reticulin AB IGA : Neg. (Neg.)
Reticulin AB Addl Testing : Report N/A
I have a long list of symptoms over the years, just to name a few, migraines, foggy head, memory and balance issues, My pupils will sometimes be different sizes.
I am going to have a colonscopy soon, due to blood in stool. I would like to request biopsies for Celiac's also. What do I ask for?
