Understanding Celiac Panel Results

Hi All,

After about 9 years of issues i final decided to go to the doctor and get a celiac panel done. I am not sure how to interpret the results so any insight would be appreciated, also as a side note my calcium is pretty low at 18:

Endomysial Antibody IgANegative  
 Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum259mg/dL 
 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA<2U/mL

The first and third tests are specific for celiac disease.  They appear to be negative, but I can not tell for sure without the lab ranges (lab ranges vary).  The second test is to see if you are IgA deficient which would impact the results of the tests.  Again, it appears that you are not deficient (no ranges), so tests  1and 3 would be valid.

What are your symptoms?  Any autoimmune disorders?  Why did you ask for celiac disease testing?  

You did not get the full panel.  You could ask your doctor for:

-Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and (DGP) IgG

This was was the only celiac test that was positve for me yet I had moderate to severe intestinal damage.  I have Hasgimoto's Thyroiditis, but that does not explain my weird results.  Typically, small children can test this way.  

I hope this helps!

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel.  I have been disappointed with the medical system myself.  Have you read my story in my blog?   What can we do to help you get better?   Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease.  Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies?   Which supplements are you taking?

      It would seem then that your next step should be a biopsy to check for damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. But you must not reduce gluten intake until that is performed else healing will take place in that area of the intestines and the biopsy results would be invalidated.

      Welcome, @anya22, Can you tell us more about your diet?   How much gluten containing foods did you eat?  What kinds of gluten containing foods did you eat?  What has your high calorie diet consisted of?   Some gluten containing foods contain less gluten than others.  Cakes and cookies may have less gluten than something like deep dish pizza.   Glad you're here!
