Yep, blood tests are good but not perfect.
I used to hear in a perfect world that anti-endomysial and anti-tTG should be consistent, but they aren't always. Which is why a thorough doctor will run them all. I know in our case, only the anti-tTG was run, yet I believe it can go both ways (negative anti-tTG and positive anti-endomysial) It is also why it makes me a little crazy that some of our major celiac centers (like a very windy one) suggest all is needed is a single anti-tTG test. Recommendations for testing come down to picking what is considered the BEST TEST OVERALL to contain cost, but it is a shame that it comes down certain people falling through the cracks because no test is 100% accurate.

Valerie,
Well, your daughter's case highlights TWO things. One is that more sensitivity is gained by running the entire panel of tests, and two is that negative testing one year can turn positive a year later. I'm glad you did pester your doctor! Cara

Hi Cara,
I finally got around to registering on BT2. I've been swamped recently but ready to get back to learning some more from you guys. Looks like you're still at it in a great way. Great "seeing" you again. More later, John |

Where were you when I've had all my dog questions???
Well, we have a new pup coming home in 7 weeks...so its probably a little late to ask you about the breed. We lost our Golden Retreiver in July . Nice to see you. I'd love to hear about that conference you were talking about last time I heard from you! Cara

I'm sorry to hear that about your Goldie, Cara. I've been either preparing for a speach or doing one for the past 6 months. I now do a monthly Podcast and just agreed to do another. I'm like a dyslexic slouch...I don't think I'm busy enough. LOL
The human conference (www.worldhealth.net) I did in July was interesting. I spoke on epilepsy and The G.AR.D. I'll shoot you a PM about it. Send me a PM if you want advice on the puppy. Do you have my Email? That would be better. Starting the right diet is of paramount importance, of course...especially important in some breeds that are clearly food intolerant in a big, big way (e.g. Goldies. Labs, Rotties, Cockers/spaniels, Shih Tzus and many more). Good to hear from you again, John |
