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 Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
