So I am a newbie.  I am 36 and have never known what it feels like to feel "normal".  After giving birth 16 months ago I have felt the worst I have felt in my life.  After several blood tests my dr found my celiac test to be "abnormal".  I have an appt with GI doc but not for a month so just wanted help on reading these labs and of celiac is a likely scenario here they are- thanks!

It would help us to help  you if would you list the normal ranges from your lab report as they can vary from lab to lab depending on what manufacturer's test they use.

Unfortunately they did not give all the standard ranges hence the confusion.. All I was told was abnormal celiac tests:(

Usually the ranges I've seen for positive are >3, or >19.  I think it is likely that you are high positive for the two celiac tests.  (The Immunoglobulin A test is not a test for celiac, it is to be sure your IgA is in the normal range because if not, the other tests aren't valid if they are negative).

Keep eating gluten until you see the GI in case he wants to do a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      Chances of being coeliac

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
