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.

      gluten free cookie recipes

      I know it's after the holidays, but it would still be fun to do a cookie recipe exchange on this forum.

      No red meat

      I did talk to the nurse and she asked who told me no red meat. I explained the person who called with the results of my blood work. That was last week. She told me the doctor was on vacation and would be back this week and she would talk to him and have someone call me this week. I have not received a call yet. I will call them back Monday as a reminder...

      Peanut Butter cookies - on the crisp side.   approx 20 smallish cookies  1 C  plus 2 tblsp rounded. 'natural' peanut butter ( the kind you have to stir to blend the PB & oils)....  I know, it's a pain!! 1/2 c granulated sugar ....plus 2 tblsp dark brown sugar 1/4 c olive oil... plus 1 tblsp 1 large egg .....and 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp cinnamon - optional but is yummy with the PB mix the above.  In another bowl mix the following dry ingredients: 1 cup brown rice flour  ( I use this  flour as it leaves no yucky after taste in my cookies & lb cakes..... and coffee cake, I buy it at the "Bulk Barn" here in Canada....... states side try health food stores??? I'm not sure where you can buy bulk food that also carries gluten free flours. 1/2 tsp baking soda.....1/4 tsp salt   (I use the pink sea salt) Mix well or sift, then mix with wet ingredients. heat oven to 350f, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll about 2 tblsp dough between your hands, place on cookie sheet and press down  with a fork.   The flatter the cookie the crispier it is.     Bake 13-14 min  When done leave on baking sheet till cool. Cheers, Florence
