_________________________________________________________________
Endomysial IgA      Result: 7.9    Negative      

Reference Value:    Negative: <25    Positive: >25
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T-Transglutaminase IgA    Result: 4.3 IU/mL   Negative    

Reference Value: Negative is <10     Positive is  10 & above 

MayoMedicalLaboratories says 4.0-10.0 U/mL is weak positive. What value is usually weak positive? Where can i find some authoritative ref values for tTG-IgA?

________________________________________________________

Test             Result                 Ref Value
_________________________________________________________________
IgA            133 mg/dL            70 - 400
IgG            1152 mg/dL         700-1600
IgM            65 mg/dL             40 - 230
IgE            136.2 IU/mL         0 - 100


I regularly take whole-wheat cereals in breakfast so i'm sure i was taking enough gluten for the tests to show if i have coeliac disease.

My stomach feels heavy and bloated. I'm a patient of chronic constipation and have to take sodium picosulfate every 2-3 days to remedy that.

Could i have celiac disease? What can you infer from the results? Btw i didn't go to a doctor as where i'm from they don't deal with these kind of things. And are the reference values used by my lab correct or are they using some out-dated ref values?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

      Welcome @Trish G to the forum. Hard or lumpy stools and infrequent bowel movements.  My brother likes Phillips Stool Softener, Ducolate Sodium.   Just a question. Was the benefiber helping?

      I think you may be correct. The way the results are printed makes it appear as though it’s the ttg iga but I think you’re right—the 646 is total iga. So this would be indicative of another issue (another autoimmune condition, infection, cancer, etc.) and my doctor would need to do further testing. Thank you for saying this!

      Are you sure that is the TTG IgA? Based on the units (mg/dL) and having an upper limit to the normal range, it looks like a total IgA result.

      I am wondering if there are any vegetarians or vegans on this forum. I’ve been vegan for 15+ years and am just finding out I likely have celiac disease (blood panel done, need biopsy). My favorite foods—outside of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds—I will likely have to give up. Anyone else?

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.
