gluten sensitivity? new blood test results
Hi PN friends,
Have had some new blood tests roll in... I have already been diagnosed with RA over the summer. My ANA switched to positive a few weeks ago, homogenous pattern. Rheumy thought maybe Lupus, but had a few more lupus blood tests done and all negative. So now my rheumy is telling me the positive ANA is from the RA, meanwhile my neuropathy worsens and is now literally everywhere... scalp, face, arms, legs, feet, hands, etc.
My primary decided to throw in the anti-gliadin IgA and IgG. The IgG was negative, while the anti-gliadin IgA was positive. I have no real idea what this means? My other celiac test was negative (the tTG-IgA Test) So... I don't have celiac, but maybe a gluten sensitivity?
Can gluten cause neuropathy?? I'm not sure what this means.
Any ideas? thank you!
