- knitty kitty replied to thejayland10's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease11TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy
It's not allergies. Segments of the protein in corn, yeast, and dairy resemble segments if the protein gluten. Our antibodies get triggered on the segments no matter where they are from. Then the antibodies get really confused and attack our own cells which have segments resembling the protein gluten in the cell membrane. Hence, Celiac is an autoimmune... -

All of my other labs are normal though, CBC, metabolic, dexa scan, vitamin levels, ema, giladin peptide igg iga, etc. Could other allergies like corn or yeast raise this? Should I have allergy testing done for other things? -

TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy
@thejayland10, The fact that your tTg IgA is slightly elevated after ten years gluten free suggests there's something going on. We want all the antibodies to go away. As long as they are around, our body is in a state of inflammation that can have long term deleterious effects outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Have you had your thyroid checked... -

Did you have a test for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)? Symptoms of hypothyroidism can be very subtle in the early stages. -

@thejayland10, The fact that your tTg IgA is slightly elevated after ten years gluten free suggests there's something going on. We want all the antibodies to go away. As long as they are around, our body is in a state of inflammation that can have long term deleterious effects outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Have you had your thyroid checked recently? Hashimoto's thyroiditis can raise tTg IgA antibodies without gluten. Maybe you're getting gluten in your diet or from shampoo/toiletries. Maybe you've developed an intolerance to other foods, like dairy, oats, corn, or yeast. One my vitamins used brewer's yeast for a B12 source which, of course, made me ill. One really has to be a bit of a detective. Do think about giving the AIP diet a try. The AIP diet is strict at first, allowing the immune system to calm down. Later more foods are added back in slowly, checking for possible reactions. -
