Test Results-please Help

Well I got my test results

total IGA- 242 in normal range

IGA gliadin normal

TTG (iga)- Normal

The lab then chose not to do the TTG(igg), Endomysial (iga) and the Endomysial titer.

So because of the first 3 tests came back negative-they stated the rest of the tests were "Not Required". I was really surprised at #1 the results and #2 that they wouldn't run the full panel (I'm paying for them anyway-right?). I am pretty upset. Is this the normal procedure for the celiac panel??

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It is strange that a lab on its own would just decide not to run other tests. I would guess that they are thinking that the TTG is pretty specific and sensitive, and that should have picked it up. I bet if the Total IGA would have been low, that is when they would have run the TTG (Igg) test.

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.
