Positive Gluten IgA and IgG test mean a celiac diagnosis?

I have recently tested positive to Gluten IgA and Gluten IgG and Gliadin IgA and IgG.  Does anyone know if this is used to give a Celiac diagnosis.  I havent discussed the results with my doctor.  I also tested three times higher than normal in the stool test done by Diagnostic Solutions for my GI Map tests.  I had the biopsy today and am awaiting for the results.  My Naturopathic Doctor says that at the beginning of the disease that intestinal damage may not show up?  Has anyone else heard of that?

Yes I've heard of that.  My problem is symptoms are very mild.  My physical results were also perfect.  No signs of malabsorbtion.  Gene test revealed only low risk gene.  However, I tested positive for IGG Gliadin DP.  This was about two years ago...

Doctor seemed to rule out celiac and didn't even want to do endoscopy.  I'm not convinced so I'm getting a 2nd opinion.  I've read many articles discussing latent celiac and leaky gut.  Essentially you test positive for antibodies and negative for biopsy.  They say this is an early form of the disease.

My strategy is going to be rerunning blood work with baseline.  For instance, I'm 90% gluten free right now.  I'm going to try and rerun tests when I see new GI.  If I test positive I'm going 100% gluten free.  If negative I'm going to consume more gluten  (2x pieces white bread/day) for 3 months.  Then retest.  If antibodies rise during that time frame I'll know I have a problem. 

Another thing about my situation... I had a very high gluten intake at the time of my initial test.  I was on wheat bread for lunch, pasta for dinner, and ate a whole box of honey wheat smacks at night.  I've read articles on how gluten can cause something called leaky gut (even in healthy people).  Essentially high gluten intake can inflame the gut and force the production of antibodies.  

So yeah, even if you test negative for biopsy I'd still rerun the bloods in a few months.  You might be suffering from NSGS or leaky gut.  Apparently leaky gut, if left unchecked, can eventually lead to celiac.

      Reportable Disease

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I am actively dealing with a ray of issues, my skin, eyes and digestive even though not eating wheat.Menopuase has activated so much right now, considering its getting worse with my health. I have learned so much thanks to this website.I wasn't properly told of my celiac disease which was confirmed by colonoscopy and endoscopy in 1994 the same year I gave birth to my first son, my tolerance level was horrible. After being diagnosed and staying away from wheat continued problems. My chiropractor at the time in 2007 had my blood work sent off and turns out I have more food allergies. I told my primary of my celiac disease in 2000 and continued to see that doctor up until May if this year 2025 considering my celiac disease was ignored, disregarded and what Im currently going through and been through. I assumed my celiac disease was " registered " at the time in 1994 just as pregnancy and other ailments are reported. I was shocked to learn that its not a mandated reportable disease not documented by the state from hospitals which I for one think it should be considering all the medical gaslighting im dealing with which is causing depression. Im told not worry about other, well I am and its NOT right.It needs to be documented so others don't suffer and go through this nightmare. Im seriously ready to go down to the mayors office and make some noise. Thoughts?

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      With all the bloodwork, have they checked your vitamin D?  What is it?  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption, so vitamin deficiencies are common.  Doctors rarely mention this. B1 Gastrointestinal beriberi, a severe thiamine deficiency, is characterized by symptoms including anorexia (loss of appetite), abdominal discomfort and pain, nausea, and vomiting. Other potential symptoms like abdominal fullness, indigestion, and constipation can also occur. These gastrointestinal issues may resist standard treatments, signaling a need to consider thiamine deficiency.  It is commonly believed that thiamine deficiency is not an issue in the western cultures, so rarely address by doctors. Doses of thiamine above 100 mg several times a day will quickly show improvement.  Borderline deficiency will come and go depending on what your eat.  Carbs use it up faster, so for example if you eat a lot of carbs today, tomorrow you may have symptoms.  Thiamine (Benfothiamine is a synthetic fat soluable thiamine) is water soluable, we only store maybe a weeks worth, and there is no upper limit on how much you consume.  Excess is stored or peed away.   For them it isn't a oroblem.  LOL.  They just say some people are like that and see the next patient.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      I used the cream for 4 days as prescribed 3 years ago. While I cannot be sure it triggered these problems, the timing is very suspicious. Yes, the oats are gluten free, and while I knew some celiacs have a problem with oats, I only just thought to eliminate them.  I just read about corn on this website, which I do eat plenty of. I do eat dairy, and would be so terrible sad to give it up, but..... Thank you for the diary suggestions. I'll start one today. Thanks for responding!

      Welcome to the forum, @sillyac58! Are you still using this topical medication for this precancerous spot on your lip? If not, are you saying you used it for a limited time and believe it triggered additional ongoing immune system reactions with unpleasant symptoms? I'm not clear on this. Are the oats you use certified gluten free? You may know this already, but even if they are certified gluten free, the oat protein avenin is similar enough to gluten to cause reactions in some celiacs. The development of other food intolerances is also common in the celiac community. Common offenders in addition to oats are dairy, eggs corn and soy. Dairy and oats are the most common, however. You might do well to keep a food diary and check for patterns.
