Gliadin Deamidated Ab,IgA high only

[ggmc14]

Hi, I went to my GP with stomach pains, bloating, fatigue, numbness in hands/feet. They suggested a celiac screening, and my results are as follows:

 

Immunoglobulin A (range 70-400 mg/dL)                            result: 237 (in range)

Endomysial IgA Abs, IFA NEGATIVE                                       result: NEGATIVE titer  (in range)

Transglutaminase Ab,IgA (range <15.0 U/mL)                      result: <0.5 (in range)

Gliadin Deamidated Ab,IgG (range <15.0 U/mL)                  result: 0.5 (in range)

Gliadin Deamidated Ab,IgA (range <15.0 U/mL)                  result: 18.6 High

 

 

My GP suggested i see a Celiac specializing GI. I keep getting mixed messages online when I research what these results mean, and I couldn't get an appointment for a few weeks. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated! thank you!

That was me!  I have only tested positive on the DGP IgA, even on follow-up tests.  My biopsies revealed moderate to severe patches.  So....keep eating gluten until you get that GI consult.  

I have researched this endlessly.  It appears that only the very young and the very old seem to test this way.  I am neither.  There is a reason that there are several celiac blood tests.  You are lucky that your doctor ordered the complete panel!
