Antigliadin Results

My 18 month old was throwing up/diarrhea everything she ate for the past couple months and our specialist just had a Celiac's Panel done after the Upper GI came up negative for reflux. I'm awaiting a call from the doctor, but my MIL is a NP so I consulted her about the results - she came back with a IgA 19 U/mL (Ref <11 U/mL, Positive >17), IgA 4 U/mL (reference Negative <11 U/mL) Can anyone tell me what this means? My MIL just said its a little high - DOES she have Celiac?

Hi bsummers!

I'm new to this forum also and it sounds like you're in a similiar situation as our family. The first test we had done was the anti-gliadin IgG & IgA and the Total IgA. Since that time another Dr. has ordered the EMA & Ttg, which are very specific to celiac disease. The anti-gliadin anti-bodies are used as a screening tool but they're not as specific. Also, there's a gene test that came be done which is helpful in some cases. My child had a very high IgG anti-giladin level but her IgA levels were fine. We're waiting on the EMA & Ttg to come back. If you haven't the EMA & IgA done it might be helpful. :)

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.
