Help me to understand my 10 year old sons test results from the Celiac Panel.  Wouldn't a 61 IgA be low thus an inconclusive result?

IgA                                                        61(64-246 mg/dL) L

tTG ANTIBODY, IgA                             3.77 (=19.99 Units)

DGP ANTIBODY, IgA                           1.94 (<=19.99 Units)

DGP ANTIBODY, IgG                           4.51 (<=19.99 Units)

tTG ANTIBODY IgA RESULT                 Negative (Negative)

tTG ANTIBODY IgG                              3.85 (<=19.99 Units)

DGP ANTIBODY IgA RESULT              Negative (Negative)

DGP ANTIBODY IgG RESULT              Negative (Negative)

tTG ANTIBODY IgG RESULT               Negative (Negative)

 

Thanks!

No. that should be enough for Celiac testing.

Any level of IgA above 20 mg/dl should make the tTG-IgA test valid, regardless of age.

I agree with Karen.  Besides, the IGG test versions were run and they were negative too.

Thanks!  So should I feel comfortable that these results are a good negative then?

I am not a doctor, so I can not make a diagnosis.  The test is negative, but there are some folks who test negative and still have intestinal damage, but that is very rare.  Was he consuming gluten daily for 8 to 12 weeks prior?  A gluten diet is needed.  My house is 100% gluten free.  I test my kid every few years (so far she is negative), so I have to make sure she is back to eating gluten daily for three months prior to the blood draw.  

Obviously, something is wrong with your child.  I hope you figure it out!  ?

      Help needed

      Thankyou so much for your reply I decided to skip the senna has I've already had very loose stools last few days I've cut my portions down on the low fiber diet too and drinking lots of liquid has I just thought it would be wise to listen to myself too I've probably already done wat the senna would of done myself naturally by drinking clear apple juice which if not on the diet I would have to avoid anyways has I don't tolerate many fruit juices so I'm sure I've done the right thing I did try to contact the department on my letter but weirdly enough it was ringing but then after a while saying wrong number 🤷 but again I'm positive I've done the right thing I'm going to take today very lightly too with low portions and more liquids so yes thankyou for that advise I am very nervous but I have had time to think and read other peoples experiences and not all are bad there is some good advise and reassuring information from people who do these all the time so I'm trying my best to be positive so I can at least settle my mind knowing im doing this to help my own health has this year has been a rollercoaster for me cutting out gluten and lactose was a good idea but I still get flare ups and other symptoms so it definitely is worth a check like you said it was the calprotein that prompted the doctor to refer me again thankyou for your reply it's means a lot for someone to take the time to listen and respond and give uplifting advise  especially to me just now has I'm a bundle of nerves inside getting closer to tomorrow prep so thankyou for that 🙏

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi StevieP I think it is best to take GliadinX Just before, during or just after you eat a food that may have a small amount of gluten.  Taking 2 capsules of GliadinX in the morning will not protect you all day because it will be long gone when you need it. The upper digestive system is where the digestive enzymes break down gluten. The problem with Celiacs is that normal digestion will only break down gluten to the point where the small fragments will still cause a reaction. GliadinX will break down the fragments so that they are too small to start the autoimmune reaction.  The label on my bottle reads'it works in the stomach' and that is ver concentrated so 1 capsule is the recomm Hope this helps/Have a lovely cruise.ended dose for each meal.

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating cross-contact risks. To be safe, I’d recommend reaching out to the company directly to ask: 1) If their wheat straw material is tested to confirm it’s free of gluten proteins, and 2) Whether the production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Many brands now cater to gluten-free consumers and will provide detailed answers. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty, alternatives like bamboo, ceramic, or glass dishes are inherently gluten-free and worry-free. Always better to double-check—your diligence is totally justified!
