Interpreting Cyrex Array 3 results

[tntntwins]

how does one interpret this test? Ive got an equivocal under Native & Deamidated Gliadin 33 igG and an out of range under Omega Gliadin 17-mer-igG.

Well....welcome to the forum!  Unfortunately, there is a lot of controversy as to whether the Cyrex test is helpful in diagnosing celiac disease and there is no known test for detecting Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance or sensitivity.  You can read about it here a the University of Chicago's celiac website (leading U.S. researcher):

But, you can take your Cyrex test results to your medical doctor and ask to be tested for celiac disease.  The blood panel consists of TTG-IgA, TTG-IgG, DGP IgA, DGP, IgG, EMA and an IgA deficiency test (helps determine if the IgA tests actually work!)  Finally, an endoscopy obtaining at least six biopies is recommended. 

Search through the U of Chicago's website and check out the British and American Gastroentrologists organizations for proper protocol and diagnostic procedures.

Ask any questions as we are happy to help!

I went to your link. It didn't go into much depth and seemed like it was mostly talking about stool tests. What are your thoughts on Gluten Associated Cross Reactive Foods testing? I had this done as well.

No, the University of Chicago stated stool tests or otherwise:

"Why don’t you recognize tests (stool tests or otherwise) for non-celiac gluten sensitivity that are currently available through companies like Enterolab or Cyrex?

We only embrace tests that have endured rigorous scientific evaluations. So far, these tests have received no evidence-based support.

Enterolab has never successfully published anything on the accuracy of stool tests (nor have any other stool test manufacturers, to our knowledge) making it difficult to confirm the research results. Because of this, we must make our decisions based on what has been published; Harvard, UCSD, and the American College of Gastroenterology all agree that stool tests are simply not sensitive or specific enough methods in screening for celiac disease."

So, it is up to you to be your best health advocate.  I encourage you to research websites that are not selling something.  I stand behind my earlier statement that you should have celiac testing done by a medical doctor and those tests should be recognized and approved by medical organizations such as the American or British Gastroentology groups.  

Cross reactivity?  No one in the current celiac research world supports this to my knowledge (Neither do I).  

I encourage you to get tested for celiac disease.  The panel costs less than $450 and is usually covered by insurance.

I wish you well!
