- RMJ replied to thejayland10's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease8TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy
In testing for celiac disease total IgA is run just to be sure you’re not deficient (in which case the TTG IgA results would not be reliable). Different labs may have slightly different normal ranges, but the units are usually the same and the results can be compared. In your case, what is meaningful for celiac disease is that you were not deficient in t... -

TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy
One lab said normal range for IgA is 45-325 and TTG IgA anything above 15 means positive for Anitbody For this one my IGA was 415 and TTG IgA 16.3 The other lab 3 months later said IgA range is 75-425 and TTG IgA anything below 20 is negative, 20-30 weak positive, 30+ positive. For this one my IGA was 456 and TTG IgA 30.2 CU -
- trents replied to Mushroom73's topic in Super Sensitive People2Gluten Free Oats
Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73! About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion... -
- Mushroom73 replied to lizzie42's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications1Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?
Hi, I was diagnosed over 30 years ago at the Univ. of Iowa. I also cannot tolerate oats. I find Nugo Dark bars are very good. But, the MOCHA uses real coffee beans and has caffeine. Kind bars with oats are also very good. Really hope this helps.

In testing for celiac disease total IgA is run just to be sure you’re not deficient (in which case the TTG IgA results would not be reliable). Different labs may have slightly different normal ranges, but the units are usually the same and the results can be compared. In your case, what is meaningful for celiac disease is that you were not deficient in total IgA for either test. Different labs use different units for the TTG IgA test and there are no conversion factors to turn one into the other. In your case, the labs have another difference - one uses a weak positive category and one doesn’t. The two results really can’t be compared. In each case you’re slightly into the full positive range for that...

A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion of the celiac community cross reacts to and still be able to produce meaningful products. I would also add that it is not true that companies catering to the gluten free community put oats in all their products. That is a gross exaggeration. It is true that oats are found in many gluten...
