Celiac or Gluten sensitive?

Hello! I'm an older adult who just received my celiac blood panel results and as so many others, I'm confused. Can anyone help me interpret my results? 

My results are the following:

Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA   6   

         Negative 0-19, weak positive 20-30, moderate to strong positive > 30

Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG   58 

         Negative 0-19, weak positive 20-30, moderate to strong positive > 30

t-Transglutaminase (TTG)  IgA   3

       Negative 0-3, weak positive 4-10, positive >10

t-Transglutaminase (TTG)  IgG   8

       Negative 0-5, weak positive 6-9, positive >9

Endomysial Antibody IgA   negative

Immunoglobulin A , Qn, Serum    165        87-352(mg/dL)

My doctor called and told me to start a gluten free diet until my next appointment.  Are these results consistent with celiac or with gluten sensitive disease? 

Thank you for your help.

If you are going to have further testing - like the endoscopy, you need to continue eating gluten.

You have a positive on the celiac panel.  It just takes one.  I just had one positive (DGP IgA) on the complete panel, yet my biopsies obtained during an endoscopy confirmed my diagnosis.  Your PCP should refer you to a GI.  He should tell you to keep consuming gluten daily until all testing (endoscopy) is complete.  It is obvious that they are not following diagnosis protocol.

Research more.  The University of Chicago' celiac website is well-written:

Ditto on the above. Stay on the donuts until the biopsy is completed.

Thank you to all who have taken their time to help me. I really appreciate it. 

Is it possible to have Celiac without having a reaction to IgA? In my case, my positive results were related to IgG.

To Victoria5289, can you elaborate a little more on your commentary, because I can´t really understand it. Thank you.

Yes, in fact, the Celiac Center in Chicago informed me that DGP IGG would more likely point to celiac then DGP IGA. Though I am unclear why. Both tests can catch celiac.

HOWEVER, both tests can result in a positive biopsy and both tests can ALSO produce a positive in folks who do not have celiac. 

Best to stay on gluten in order to rule in/out the disease. My old primary made the same mistake of telling me to start a gluten free diet before all testing was done. 

The user who commented before just joined and is having difficulty conveying her thoughts clearly. You have been given good advice above by others.  

Get a GI who understands celiac and will take at least 4-6 biopsies if you do the endo.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
