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!

      Gluten free nuts

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat. I am going to keep checking. Thank...

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      I’m glad you have a clear answer. Some endoscopes have enough magnification for the doctor to see the damage during the procedure.

      Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili

      While it seems unlikely to contain intentional gluten ingredients--and based on the ingredients you provided, this canned Wendy's chili appears to be gluten-free, but with a very important caveat: it cannot be considered certified or guaranteed gluten-free due to the potential for cross-contamination and the ambiguous nature of "natural flavors."

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I could not find the thread, but I recall at least one user who was drinking regular gluten beer daily but getting celiac blood tests done often (I think it was monthly) and doing a biopsy each year and all celiac disease tests were always negative. Everyone is different, but in general regular beer would be considered low gluten (not gluten-free!). I have no issues with Daura Damm, but those who are super sensitive might.
