Hi Everyone!  It has been a while since I've been on here but you guys have been so great helping make sense of things.  I have 2 sons and I've tested my 10 year old and he is negative and I just recently got my 4 year old tested because of some behavioral issues and rashes and they ordered a TTG IGG with his value being .90 and the range is less than 15 is negative and then ordered IgA immunoglobulin which came back positive with the value of 240.  When I got tested it was a fluke because my labs were off but I had no intestinal issues but my tests came back very obviously positive.  So I'm just wondering what his results mean and does he have it too?  I'm a bit confused, thank you so so much guys!

Mandy

His TTG is .90 which is less than one and the range is less than 15 is negative.  His IgA (is that the IgA deficiency test?) is a 240.  What's the lab range?  It sounds normal.  But are you talking about a TTG IgA?  If that's the case then it could be positive.  

Missing some valuable data here, Mom!

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.
