Elevated anti-ccp

[leerobert]

Hi,
I posted a question similar on Facebook group. My husband has been on clarithromycin for past 2 years with resolution of his symptoms. No pain or swelling. But his anti-ccp level is not coming down, in fact trending up, not as fast as in beginning of treatment but still up. Starting to think maybe need not focus so much on numbers but how he is feeling. Any ideas or similar experiences?

RA diagnosis 2015 - positive anti-CCP. Currently Clarithromycin 500 mg daily; Turmeric supplement; probiotic; fish oil; vitamin D3; MSM. Minocycline therapy from 2015-2017 until developing sensitivities. Gluten free and dairy free diet. Severe dairy intolerance. Tested positive for M. pneumoniae igG

Hi Leerobert,

The only protocol that brought my anti-CCP down (regular as clockwork by 40 points per month) was a long-acting penicillin (Moxatag) and Diflucan combo. It was really pretty remarkable that I think even my doc was impressed! Lol Stayed on this protocol for about 7-8 months until this lab normalized. Tetras seem to work better to lower RF for me.

My good friend had her anti-ccp go negative with going gluten free. She also had some dental work done which may have helped.

Hi Maz, I have an anti ccp level of 250, and it keeps on going up. I have joint pain all over my body, and I would like to know how I can find a doctor that would give me the same protocol that you have used to put the anti ccp level to a normal range. thanks, Andy

Hi Andy, I have sent you a private message in this system. Hope you receive it okay. If you didn’t receive it, let me know and I’ll try again tomorrow. Might be a tech glitch.
