Second daughter got blood test with outrageously high Transglutaminase igA 734 and she is not symptomatic.    Anyone know what the average range is for those with celiac disease?    Our other daugher was 99 and symptomatic.  Wondering if this is a lab error.   Don't think this is physiologically possible.   Thanks.  Mayumi

Was it a different lab?  A lot of labs just stop "counting" at 100.  Mine just said ">100".  

 

She probably has symptoms, you just don't realize they are from Celiac.

I know different labs have different numbers. For instance our local lab I think stops at 250.  That’s what by son’s number was when he was first tested. When tested a second time at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto he was in the 700’s. it’s a bit more complicated than that I think. The analogy they used with me is like a pregnancy blood test.  Some people have low numbers  and others really high. Bottom line they are both preganant. Hope that makes sense!

My diagnosis was shocking as I had no gastrointestinal symptoms at all!  There are over 200 symptoms attributed to celiac disease.  Some are even hidden.  Two months after my diagnosis I fractured my back doing nothing.  Unknown to everyone,  I had osteoporosis.  ?

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!
