Understanding test results

Hello All, I'm new to this site and to the possibility of Celiac. I have recently had a ( tissue Transglutaminase IGA ) test and am wondering about the results. Not sure if my results are even possible. These results were obtained using the Inova Quanta Flash h-tTG IgA chemiluminescent immunoassay. My result was 3447.6CU. If someone could please tell my what this means and if these numbers are even realistic.

Thanks

The download link on this page tells about the ranges for the test.  It looks like your readings are possible?

Looks like you tested positive.  That typically means getting a GI referral for biopsies via endoscopy.  Keep eating gluten until all testing is done.  

I would not worry about the super high result.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.

      It's not uncommon to experience some bleeding with hemorrhoids but I doubt enough to materially effect your iron levels. About your constipation. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? 25-30 grams per day is the adult recommendation. Eggs and chicken have zero fiber. One medium apple or one average banana will have about 3 g. of fiber.

      Someone said this could be due to my hemorrhoids. On March 17, 2024 my ferritin level was 23.

      I agree with @trents, they should have run a total IgA. What was the normal range for the DGP IgA test? Different labs use different units thus have different normal ranges.

Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? 25-30 grams per day is the adult recommendation. Eggs and chicken have zero fiber. One medium apple or one average banana will have about 3 g. of fiber. A serving of oatmeal will have 3-4 g. Just to give you an idea. It's harder than you think to get 25-30 g of fiber. You have to plan for it and work at it. Getting plenty of hydration is important as well.
