Here are the results I got today from the Dr.

Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 31 High

Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IfG 16 Negative

t-Transluaminase (tTG) IgA 4 High

t-Translutaminase (tTG) IgG 5 Negative

Endomysial Antibody IgA

Immunoglobin A, Qn, Serum 167 Negative

Positive for DQ2 and homozygous for DQB1*02.

Please help me figure out what these means! I have had conversations with my Dr. before and they e-mailed me the results and told me to stay off gluten.

Simply put welcome to the gluten-free family. You are in the right place to learn what you have to do to heal and keep safe. Ask any questions you need to ask. You should also advise all your first degree relatives to be screened for celiac.

So you feel like these results indicate "celiac"?

You have a positive blood test for celiac and a positive gene test predisposing to celiac. Welcome, you belong to our family :) Unless you have other gluten eaters in your household, toss everything that has gluten in it. If you can't do that, organize separate shelves for your gluten free food in pantry and fridge, get your own specially marked jars/tubs of spread, nut butter, etc (to prevent cross-contamination) and get reading as much as you can about the gluten free diet. There is oodles of information on this board on how to implement the diet, lists of foods that are gluten free, and of foods which contain gluten where you might not expect it. Make yourself at home! Don't rush out and buy gluten-free specialty products - ease into the diet by eating naturally gluten free whole foods, meat, fish, rice, veggies, fruits, nuts, etc. That way you won't go into overload on your first supermarket expedition - and it will be easier on your intestinal tract too :)

Thank you so much for the information. I am surprised that my Dr. didn't even call. I actually was doing the testing for my 3 year old (for the genetic component, but I am not surprised that I have it as well. I have had health issues my whole life and have toyed with a gluten free diet for the last year because of my daughter. I think I am just overwhelmed that I actually got a positive test since I have met a few people with Celiac that couldn't get a positive test. So crazy that 26 years of issues is summed up to one problem!

      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.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.):
