Anti-TTG IgA 63. Anti-Gliadin IgA > 100. Endoscopy showed inflammation and scalloping. What are the odds of the biopsy confirming celiac?

Thanks.

Not sure what the normal range on those blood tests are. They are different based on the lab.

But obvious inflammation and scalloping....Welcome to the club! We will send your secret decoder ring shortly!

Hopefully your doctor told you to go ahead and get on the diet. If not you should do so. Even if by some chance the biopsy is negative you are still one of us with the results from the bloodwork and the visible scalloping.

Read as much as you can here and ask any questions you need to.

Thanks for the quick replies.The ranges on the lab they used was above 8 as positive for anti-ttg and at or above 20 as antibodies detected for anti-gliadin.

I'll definitely post an update with biopsy results. Yeah, looking forward to receiving that decoder ring in the mail. :)

Just looking forward to feeling better.

Yeah, but Karen left out the Rules for the Induction Ceremony, didn't she. :blink:

Nevertheless, Welcome! :D

As an update, the biopsy was positive and confirmed Celiac. Will ask for Marsh classification at my follow-up.

      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.

      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.):
