<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> On 3/5 Larry Toole asked: <Does anyone know if a positive ANA blood test can indicate <Celiac Disease when the other blood test indicators are <negative? Interesting question. My daugther (now 7) was diagnosed with Celiac Disease at 16 months. I (her mother) have a positive ANA (1:1280). My Celiac Panel was normal except for a ever so slightly elevated IgG (1:10) which my doctor did not seem to think meant anything. However, I had about 10 years of strange symptoms that were diagnosed as everything from chronic fatigue to a Lupus like autoimmune syndrome, although he never really thought I had a true case of Lupus. To make a long story short, I put myself on a gluten free diet about a year ago (mostly because I kept reading about people on this list who had such similar symptom histories as mine, and because of the suspicion of a genetic correlation between my daughter and myself). Ironically (or maybe not so ironically) my symptoms completely abated to the point of being in such good physical condition that I am considering running a marathon (or at least a half marathon to start!) Rather interesting, isn't it?! -Jane Oswaks
