Lab results with hypothyroidism

Hello! Friday afternoon I was given lab results by my endocrinologist 's office over the phone. Due to fatigue and numerous stomach problems for years (I was told IBS) and inability to lose weight I asked my endo to test me for celiac disease. I was scratching the numbers down on a post it so bear with me....

igA 80.3

igG 82.2

tissue transglutaminase igA sep AB 113.9

I was told all should be less than 20. I already have a call to my family dr.   to recommend a GI specialist. My questions are...has anyone else had numbers like this? Is it possible my hypothyroidism could be throwing off the numbers for a false positive for celiac disease? Thank you in advance for your comments!

Very unlikely that the results were impacted by your being hypo, but I am not a doctor!  (I do have celiac disease and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.) Keep eating gluten until all testing is complete.  The next step is typically an endoscopy.  At least four to six biopsy samples should be taken. 

The good news is that you will start to feel so much better once you have been given the okay to go gluten free.  Be sure to check out our Newbie 101 thread for great tips.  We are here to help!

Don't go gluten free until the endoscopy is done!

Thank you so much for your reply! 

I am definitely unnerved by the possibility of celiac disease and at the same time more than a little relieved that I might finally have an answer to my stomach issues that have bothered me for years. I definitely will continue to use this site.

Yesterday I finally had my GI specialist appointment and have my scope procedure scheduled for mid-January.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.

      The DGP-IGA is valuable when celiac is suspected but the person being tested is IGA deficient. Were you tested for IGA deficiency. In other words, was there a test known as "Total IGA" ordered? Here is an overview of the various blood tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease:

      Has anyone ever negative blood work except for the DPG-IGA? Mine was 42 (reference range negative is >20. The TTG iga was negative. I have always suffered from bad gas issues and lately have been having bouts of diarrhea and constipation. I also have a bumpy rash that comes and goes below both elbows. i have an endoscopy scheduled in May but I was just wondering if anyone else had bloodwork like this and what was the end result?

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.
