Lacking insurance, I am currently undiagnosed. However, I want to get myself checked out for Selective Immunoglobulin A Deficiency (Selective IgAD)-- which is not an autoimmune but an immunodeficiency disorder--as well as Celiac's Disease once I get insurance. These two occur often together and I display the full set of symptoms as well as similar symptoms through my mother's side (it seems to prefer maternal transmission).
However, without testing, I obviously can't say for certain.
**Important Note for Anyone Who Suspects Celiac's Disease:
You should also get yourself checked for IgA Deficiency as you're getting checked for Celiac's, because if you test positive for Selective IgAD you may get a false negative for Celiac's using the traditional blood test. SIgAD can affect antigliadin levels which are the typical indicator of Celiac's. So a different type of test would need to be used to make sure it isn't Celiac's. |
