      So if the normal range for your tests is below 15.0 U/mL, and your results are 120.9 U/mL HIGH, it definitely looks like you could have celiac disease. Your doctor may want to schedule an endoscopy to confirm this, but with such high results it is also possible that the diagnosis might be made on your blood test results alone (more info on that is below). This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.  In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      The Tissue Transglutaminase Iga: It says at the top of the page....Normal range: below <15.0 U/mL  The numbers on the top/left of chart start at 123, 122.121.120.119   My Results 120.9 U/mL HIGH ___________________________________________________________________ The Gliadin AB Iga: It says at the top of the page....Normal range: below <15.0 U/mL  The numbers on the top/left of chart start at 64,63,62,61,60 My Results 62.1 U/mL HIGH

      The reference ranges are usually included in the data but they may be cryptically expressed. Just type in everything from the results as it appears in the form you have it. Put it all in a new post window. We'll unpack it for you.
    • JustGemi
      Where would I locate the reference ranges?  I'll take a look at my results again....
    • JustGemi
      Scott,   Can you look at my post and tell me if my numbers are off the chart!?  I won't be able to see my Gastro for another 7 weeks and I am freaking out at the numbers. JustGemi
