My GI tested me for celiac and the results have been trickling in (I am able to access them online). The first round of blood work came in and he sent me back for more.  Here are the results of both, and I'd appreciate any input (first number is the range, last number is my result). 

 

TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB IGA <4 U/mL

<1

GLIADIN/GLUTEN IGA AB <20 units 5 IMMUNOGLOBULIN A 81 - 463 mg/dL 58 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY IGG <6 U/mL 4 GLIADIN/GLUTEN IGG AB <20 units 4 IMMUNOGLOBULIN M 48 - 271 mg/dL 33 IMMUNOGLOBULIN G 694 - 1618 mg/dL 589

 

I will be following up with my doctor, but wanted to glean some information in the meantime.Thanks in advance, googling these the past couple of days has made my head spin.

The Immunoglobulin A and G tests are done to be sure you have enough IgA or IgG for the celiac antibody tests to be accurate. You seem to be deficient in both which means your celiac antibody tests that are in normal range could be incorrect.

This does not mean you have celiac disease - just that more investigation is needed.

I know it is very frustrating, but your next step is to speak with your doctor.

Don't remove gluten from your diet until you are certain testing is complete.

Hang in there...if anxious try to see if your appt can be moved up....Dr. google can be very helpful but not when you are unclear on what to research.

Your tTG and AGA tests look negative. Was that Anti-gliadin Antibody tests (AGA IgA and AGA IgG) or the deaminated gliadin peptides (DGP IgA and DGP IgG) tests that were run?  The DGP tests are newer and considered very good... the AGA tests, well... not so much.

 

This report has some good info on testing on pages 10-12: Open Original Shared Link

 

Good luck! I know the waiting is horrible... try not to go too crazy. ;)

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
