Blood test results igg confused

[Lexy122]

If anyone could clear this up for me it would be really helpful. 

My primary care doctor wasn’t able to get me in for months and my insurance isn’t very good so I found a lab online to do blood work.

i only did the gluten allergy IGg blood test. 

I got my results online today and I don’t understand them fully. From what it says I’m ‘in range’ but my range is exactly what the range number is. Therefor is it higher than average just not high enough to be out of range? This is the results I have. 

 

In range <2.0 

Reference range <2.0 mcg/mL 

 

so technically I’m not over the range but there’s nothing to reference, as in do most people that aren’t gluten sensitive have a 0?  Because I feel awful most days with serious brain fog, anxiety and depression and massive headaches that never go away and stomach cramps and I can’t see what else could be causing this. I already had an ultrasound from my gynecologist and I don’t have anything visably wrong on the ultra sound causing the stomach cramping. Any insight would be helpful since I can’t get a doctor to fully interpret this. Thank you!!

You got a blood allergy test?  Not a Celiac test?

your gynecologist can order blood test for celiac and to see if you are anemic - often a sign of a celiac

Yes the website I ordered the test from said it was a ‘gluten allergy test’ and that it was an igg test to test for a reaction to gluten without having to be on a gluten containing diet. I thought the one test would be enough to at least make some type of guess towards celiac disease but it wasn’t as helpful as I thought

That is not a test for Celiac.

Now that I’m looking back at the test results it says ‘test name - allergen gluten IGG’ which I don’t think is the same as the demidated gliadin IGg antibody test which I assumed it was the same thing

Here is how to order your own celiac test online:

The full celiac panel includes:

TTG IGA
TTG IGG
DGP IGA
DGP IGG
EMA
IGA

You can either have a gastroenterologist order the full celiac panel plus whatever else they typically test for, or you can order your own test at a site like walkinlab.com. At walkinlab.com it's called the celiac comprehensive test and costs $298.00 (not covered by insurance). Then if any one test comes up high you can give it to your gastroenterologist so they can do an endoscopy. The blood draw is done at your nearest Labcorp. You get your results in less than a week at walkinlab.com .
