Had Thyroglobulin group, requested by oncologist.

Had no thyroid tests prior to TT for palliary carcinoma , so never knew if I had antibodies, but because my bowel stomach is always uncomfortable and bloated, often wondered what my status had been.

Anyway I have to type out th report.

Serum thyroglobulin level <0.1ug/L

Thyroglobulin autoantibodies 2 kU/L

Thyroidglobulin antibody status Positive

Report comment

THyroglobulin antibodies interfere with the assay for thyroglobulin.

Thyroglobulin (Tg) in thyroid cancer patients after TT and 1-131 ablation <0.1 ug/L

Can anyone explain above, I am right in thinking I'm positive for antibodies.

I have started on gluton free diet just 4 days ago , not deal improvement but if

I was positive I would keep going . Thanks for any help

GCart,

Post thyCa thyroidectomy thyroglobulin is used as a cancer marker rather than a measure of autoimmune antibody levels.

Thyroglobulin <0.1 with thyroglobulin antibodies 2 means your results are very low indicating a lack of thyroid activity which means it is unlikely there is any cancer recurrence. I was told that as long as thyroglobulin remains <6 and thyroglobulin antibodies remain <20 it is unlikely cancer will have recurred.

You don't have Hashimoto's so you can abandon the g-f diet if you wish.

Thank you for that Clutter, I was a bit confused by the word Positive.

I may continue with my gf diet as my tummy feels more comfortable since I started.

I only had , maybe 2 slices a day, finding that easy to replace .

95% cook from fresh ingredients so won't make it a religion but will cntinue to avoid.

Wonderful advice on the site, most be th best , thanks again
