I'm still trying to find out what other things can cause a higher than normal IgA?

Since my Endomysial, IgG and Ttg tests were normal, but Celiac runs in the family I have no idea if IgA is anything to base anything on?

My test result on this was a 60, with 30 being normal. My other tests were not even conduted because they were negative and my Ttg was a "1".

Can anyone point me in the direction to get more info on this one test result?

I would be interested to see what you find out. I am in the same boat.

Maybe someone out there can help us?????????????

I am in the same boat except my IgG is high. My doctor says it is inconclusive. I am having an endoscopy on Thursday and have to wait two weeks for the results.

Just my IgG is high. It is 32. Everything else is fine. Also, I haven't even had any symptoms for the last month. My Dr. said it was inconclusive and wanted me to go gluten-free and see if my symptoms improve, but I really have not had much of a problem (if any) for the past month and I am taking in as much or more gluten than ever. I changed my oatmeal breakfast to Kashi organic waffles (that have lots of fiber, soy protein, and tons of wheat). He wants to hold off on the endoscopy for now. I am thinking about trying the enterolab test.

I've been gluten-free since Aug. 2003, after a very positive blood test and biopsy. I have always been curious what other conditions can elevate a person's IgA. The next time I'm in the bookstore I'll look at a medical journal and see if I can find some info. on that. The gluten-free diet hasn't been the lifesaver for me I was hoping for, and I've always wondered if this is a similar but not exact disease to celiac disease. If I find out anything I'll let you know, and in the meantime I hope others can shed some light on this!

(I do know a couple things that do this are Tropical Sprue, which is basically Celiac that you catch while travelling to a foriegn country and is treated with antibiotics, and something called Bacterial Overgrowth.)

My understanding is that the antigliadin tests could be high if you have a wheat allergy (as opposed to celiac disease). The thing is, I'm not sure if you would expect both IgA AND IgG to be high in wheat allergy, or if just one or the other being high is enogh to suggest this. Something to look into a bit farther.

Best,

Kaylee

I called and asked for a repeat IgA, IgG and Endomysial. The gal at the doctors didnt know what I was talking about, so I hope the doctor calls me instead next time!

My son's antigliadin IgA and IgG are both elevated. His endoymisial and tTg are in normal range. He also has a casein allergy (IgE response). The doctor advised me to eliminate milk from his diet. Apparently ingesting milk products damages the intestines and allows particles that should normally stay inside the intestines (like wheat) to leak out into his system. His immune system attacks the particles, explaining the elevated gliadin IgA and IgG. Once his intestine heals, the gliadin antibodies should go back to normal. The doctor called this "leaky gut." It's also refered to as intestinal permiability.

I'm not completely convinced, but I'm following the advise to eliminate milk for now. He is still having intestinal symptoms. The doctor has ordered more blood tests to check for IgA deficiency and nutrient deficiencies.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
