Igg rhythm doctor11/14/2022 ![]() Doctors have a tendency to blame everything on a virus. There have been quite a few people I have met whose heart issues went away after being gluten-free for a while. A-fib or other heart rhythm issues can be directly caused by Celiac Disease. Yes, heart problems are connected to Celiac. There are people who are IgA deficient, which would make any IgA testing unreliable. No, total IgA should always be done with any other IgA based testing to see if you make enough of the antibody for the testing to be valid. Are heart complications relatively normal with celiac? I would consider them one of my worst symptoms. My cardiac stress test was good and they consider me Low risk for the biopsy. Is that right? Is it perfectly accurate in the sense that if I do not have the gene it must be something else? Is there another IGA that could be tested? From what I have heard the gene test could not diagnose celiac but could exclude it. I thought the total IGA was either the same as the TTG IGA or the anti-gliadin IGA both of which were in the normal ranges. A blood test may confirm the presence of antibodies against thyroid peroxidase (TPO antibodies), an enzyme normally found in the thyroid gland that plays an important role in the production of thyroid hormones. Because Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder, the cause involves production of abnormal antibodies. At the same time, the level of TSH is elevated because your pituitary gland tries to stimulate your thyroid gland to produce more thyroid hormone. If your thyroid is underactive, the level of thyroid hormone is low. Blood tests can determine the amount of hormones produced by your thyroid and pituitary glands. This link talks mostly about hypothyroid symptoms, but hyperthyroid symptoms are possible too before the thyroid is destroyed. It is an AI attack on the thyroid and can cause both hyperthyroid and hypothyroid symptoms. There is an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis that celiacs sometimes get. The thyroid could even cause digestive symptoms. The fast pulse and sudden high blood pressure could be thyroid related. I am curious if the doctors tested your thyroid. I started taking some vitamin supplements and feel better but the worst symptoms remaining are the heart complications, achey joints and poorly digested food. My grandpas sister and my cousin have celiac disease. My Sister has autoimmune arthritis and my Mother has autoimmune psoriasis. In terms of background I had GBS when I was 18 so I have a history with autoimmune. I have 2 young kids and am 32 right now so I am hoping to look at Long term recovery. I am hoping I can consider the elevated TTG IGG as a diagnosis and forego the biopsy if possible. The GI doc would like to do the biopsy but I have concerns about getting put to sleep when my heart is abnormal. So it would appear my TTG IGG was the only positive which seems a bit unusual. Below were my results.Īnti-gliadin peptides iga 13, normal range 0-25Īnti-gliadin peptides igg under 2, normal range 0-25 #IGG RHYTHM DOCTOR FULL#My thyroid, liver and full blood counts were good but the celiac screen showed a positive value. #IGG RHYTHM DOCTOR SERIES#I eventually saw a GI doc and he ran a series of blood tests for me. My stomach would normally feel fine through the day but would cause a lot of bloating pain overnight. In the first month I lost about 10-15lbs and became pretty weak. The diagnosis was that my heart was structurally normal and he thought my heart was reacting to the virus as I recovered. I have seen a cardiologist and they ran me through tests like ECG and 24 hrs halter. I also developed high blood pressure for the first time in my life and it was usually around 150/100 when high. Most of the symptoms cleared up in a couple days but the diarrhoea and heart complications remained. I had a fever, aches, diarrhoea and an odd fast heart rate with a bounding pulse. I have been lurking and reading many helpful posts but was hoping to share my current situation and ask for advice.Īround 2 months ago I got what I thought was the flu. ![]()
