Hi, I am new to this forum, and dont know if this is the right place to ask this. Was diagnosed last year, did fine on the gluten free diet, but then things went wrong this year March, after I started taking Holland and Barrett supplements(its a UK brand). I live in Muscat (Oman) and the doctors here know nothing about dealing with celiac disease. So I have learnt by making too many mistakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and thanks to celiac. com which has been of great help. CAN SOMEONE PLEAAAAAAAAASEEEEEEEEE tell me If SOLGAR calcium supplements would be ok for me. I have low calcium and dont know which supplement to use now after my bad experience with Holland and Barrett products.  Thanks

Hi Amna!

Sorry, I don't know about Solgar.  Country Life brand offers several different calcium supplements that are all Certified Gluten Free.  

Don't feel too bad about your docs not knowing much about Celiac.  In the USA, it's not much better.  Ha!

Good luck!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.

      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?
