Hi. I just got my blood test results back and the doctor said it was negative for Celiac. I know if a person has an IgA deficiency it could be a false negative. How do I know if the total IgA was measured? These are the only 3 things that were measured. The first 2 seem extremely low, but I'm guessing that's a good thing, right?

TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB IGG <0.8 (Normal Range <15)

anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA <0.5 U/mL (Normal Range <15)

IMMUNOGLOBULIN A 100 (Normal Range 70-400)

The full celiac panel includes:

TTG IGA
TTG IGG
DGP IGA
DGP IGG
EMA
IGA

You still need to do DGP IGA, DGP IGG and EMA.

IMMUNOGLOBULIN A is Total IGA and it's normal.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      I give this advice to everyone who is considering quitting their job: always try to line up a new job before you quit. Why? Because it's easier to find a job when you have one--unemployment for a stretch of time can be hard to explain, especially if the period of unemployment is prolonged. Also, unless you're independently wealthy or have family support, people tend to get desperate and take any job when the money is running out, so you could end up in a worse job. Just my 2 cents...

      So, you are not IGA deficient. But as Russ H suggested, it looks like you may be a seronegative celiac.

      Thank you for looking at these for me! The reference range for IgA was: Normal range: 87 - 352 mg/dL
