Test Results?

Had a IgG result of 3.2 mcg/ml with a high flag to it. What does this mean? The dr said I am gluten intolerant. Celiacs too? Or too low? I am having colonoscopy and endoscopy tomorrow.

Welcome!

 

Which IgG test?  It could be:

 

tTG-IgG

DGP-IgG

AGA-IgG

 

Can you provide the reference range -- labs uses different ranges, without the range we can't interpret the result.

Depends on the test that you had done but if it was the tTG and it is flagged as being high you have a good chance of having ceiliac.

Hi and Welcome to the forum -

 

Non-Celiac gluten intolerance will not elevate your antibody levels on the tests and there is not currently a reliable test for NCGI.  So if you have a positive result on the blood tests and/or biopsy results, then it indicates Celiac.  The colonoscopy is most likely to make sure nothing else in going on, while the endoscopy will include a biopsy and will test for Celiac in order to confirm an official diagnosis.  The biopsy from the small intestine (via the endoscopy) will also test for other possible issues, but that's the one that can confirm villi damage that is indicative of Celiac.

 

(As a side note... it is Celiac Disease - not "Celiacs" - people with Celiac are sometimes referred to as Celiacs.  :) )

Test doesn't say. Just allergen gluten IgG. It said acceptable its < 2.

Doesn't sound like you had any Celiac blood tests. You might want to request a full celiac panel. Glad you are getting an endo. Make sure they do lots of biopsies, even if they think it looks OK. celiac damage must be viewed by a pathologist with a microscope.

It sounds like your test may have been run through Quest Diagnostics.  Their website lists an "Allergen Gluten Igg" test but I don't see right off where it explains which test this actually is. 

This page explains the full Celiac panel of tests: Open Original Shared Link

It also includes the actual test codes - so if you have the code for the test that was run you may be able to figure out which one it was.

 

But all that aside - I agree with Karen - you should request the full panel.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
