14 month old son test results confused?

My 14 month old son just had celiac testing done. He has had bloating, constipation, weight gain and weight loss, sores on tongue and irratability. He was on a gluten free diet for a week and symptoms seemed to improve. Receieved test results and they were normal.

IgA = 27

Lab range 20 - 100

TTG IgA ab <.1

I was just wondering if anyone had thoughts about the results.

The resuls appear negative, but your son did not have the complete celiac panel.  He is so young.  Often the DGP IGA or DPG IGG tests are better for small children.

i am not a kid, but I can tell you that I tested negative to the TTG IGA as well (positive on the DGP IGA), yet I biopsies revealed moderate to severe intestinal damage.  

Consider asking for the rest of the panel, or perhaps the genetic test (rules out celiac disease but does not diagnose it).  

But.....he has to be on a gluten diet (not for the genetic test).  Blood test results can be impacted by going gluten free within a few weeks.  

I wish him well!

      An early incubation and inoculation

      I forgot to add a status update on my health. I've had no issues. Been staying away from the foods I know cause GI problems: alcohol, peanuts and mayo. Stools are well-formed and of normal frequency. Consumption of gluten continues to have no effect.

      I was also told I had IBS years ago like literally it's just IBS the docter said I've had lots of  the symptoms you say there plus much more but I'm convinced it's not just IBS although I feel very sorry for people who get told this too because IBS is a real problem for people too it's awfull how much ignorance is around in the world these days from docters try the elimination diet like I did gluten free I also did lactose because it was still bothering me I found a real big change I've read some members here say  it can be quite hard to get a diagnosis and help but there is plenty of self help here it's not wrong to self diagnose if you find that it truly is a Life changer be true to your own needs and ask people already suffering for advise it's about your quality of life now and for future this us were I'm heading if I have no luck with docters I will have luck helping myself 🤗

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:
