Inconclusive results

My doctor ran some celiac screening tests because my son *might* have latent celiac disease. After she got my results, she referred me to a GI to follow up because she called the results inconclusive. I can't get any appt until September and I don't if I should go back to my pcp and have her run a full celiac panel. What are your thoughts?

Below are my results

GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB,IGG  3  Reference Range: <20 UNITS

GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB,IGA  28 H Reference Range: <20 UNITS

TISSUE TRANSGLUTAM AB (IGA) <1  Reference Range: <4 U/ML

RETICULIN IGA SCREEN Negative  Reference Range: Negative

You have the positive on the DGP IgA. 1 positive is enough to move forward with an endoscopic biopsy. You must keep eating gluten each day or you could quit now & begin again around 1 month prior to the GI appointment. I warn you though that if you quit & then resume, you are most likely going to have a much more severe reaction than if you had never quit at all.

Try to see if there are any cancellations with the GI.  I had the complete celiac panel many times.  I only get a positive on the DGP IgA (even in follow-up testing) and I am biopsy confirmed.   Why?  My doctors do not know.  This is one example why there are several celiac blood tests.

Thank you! I'm really hoping this was a fluke and I don't have celiac disease.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By trents · Posted

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      I was diagnosed at 18 months old with celiac and lived without wheat, rye, oats, and barley as instructed by my doctor, Dr. Katz at Boston Children's Hospital in the 60's and 70's. I don't agree nor recommend doctors removing oats from restriction, certified gluten-free or not.  I have eaten certified gluten free oats and have had the usual reactions to gluten.  Please reconsider this with newly diagnosed patients.

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By CJF · Posted

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.
