My daughter on the Gluten challenge: Which gluten panel is more comprehensive please?

Hello Forum members :

So my daughter who has been on the Gluten Challenge for about 8 weeks now, and we want to do the Comprehensive panel.

-tTG IgA and tTG IgG

-DGP IgA and DGP IgG

-EMA IgA

-total serum IgA and IgG (control test)

-AGA IGA and AGA IgG - older and less reliable tests largely replace by the DGP tests

We are not having any luck with a clinic that does all of these tests.

 

I would be more than grateful if you can tell me which of these two Panels is more complete.

Sorry , I do sound probably ignorant (and in these matters I am just beginning to learn ) and I am in desperate need of assistance.

 

PANEL 1- (free clinic)

-immunoglblulin GAM (IgA, IgG, IgM)

-CRP

-ESR

(He also suggested the following tests:

ALT, Alk phosphate, Vit B12, Ferritin.)

 

PANEL 2- (Paying clinic)

1.        Deaminated Gliadins IgG & IgA (DGP IgA)

2.        Anti-Tissue transglutaminase IgA(tTG)

3.        Total IgA (control test) we don’t offer total IgG as part of this panel '

4.     ESR

I didn’t recognize AGA IGA and AGA IgG' was what the lab technician told me.

 

Thank you so much,

L.

Panel 2 is the one that tests for celiac with the DGP and tTG tests.  Panel 1 does NOT have any celiac-specific tests.

Exactly what RMJ wrote -- panel 2.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By DjinnDjab · Posted

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.
