Hi there any help is appreciated

My son is nearly 3 and had his blood screen done and two of the results I reminder from the results the doctor showed me were:

IgA <1. Expected range 1-7

IgG 2. Expected range 1-7

I am confused my doc told me that all is ok. but i read low immunoglobulin could indicate low antibodies and can make the rest of the test result unreliable.. So confused. Please help.

Sorry I hijack the post but I have a similar question and completely ignorant to celiac disease

My son is nearly 3 and had his blood screen done and two of the results I reminder from the results the doctor showed me were:

IgA <1. Expected range 1-7

IgG 2. Expected range 1-7

I am confused my doc told me that all is ok. but i read low immunoglobulin could indicate low antibodies and can make the rest of the test result unreliable.. So confused. Please help.

 

Jules are those the immunoglobulin total levels?

 

Feel free to start a new post in this section or in the children's section.

Include the test results.

 

DGP-IgG is the best Celiac test for young children.

There is not sufficient information to identify the tests that you are referring to. IgA and IgG are general types and each can refer to multiple tests. But if that is Total Serum IgA that was low, then any other IgA test run at the same time may be falsely negative.

 

This is now a separate topic.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
