List members,

I am trying to self analyze the results of my celiac tests. My
gastro-enterologist is on vacation and I guess I am too impatient to wait.
I had been on a low-carbohydrate eating regime and feeling fine. To
prepare for the tests, I began to eat carbs and gluten containing foods.
I had eaten gluten/carbs for 9 days prior to the blood test and 12 days
prior to the biopsy. Here are the results.

Blood test                      result          reference

Anti-reticulin antibody         1 : 20 (H)      none found
Anti-gliadin antibody IgA       7.3 (H)         < 3.0
Anti-gliadin antibody IgG       < 7.0           < 7.0
Anti-endomysial antibody        none found      none found

Biospy: normal

So, I failed the anti-reticulin and anti-gliadin IgA tests and passed
everything else. Does this look inconclusive because of the biopsy and
passed blood tests, or do the failed blood tests indicate gluten
intolerance? I would very much like to hear your opinions.

Thank you,

James Alpigini
