Celiac or Gluten Intolerance What's the difference

Linda3149 Newbie

Years of puzzling symptoms that I've been trying to figure out and just recently I took a Celiac test (blood test) that shows I'm gluten intolerance. 

Test measured

IgG 599

IgA 181

Transglutaminase 2 IgG .56

Transglutaminase 2 IgA .43

DGP IgG .29

DGP IgA .29 

 

in the intestinal Permeability Panel I scored moderate to high risk on some of them

A non Gluten Wheat Panel test most of the scores were in moderate range. 

So I'm wondering if there is a difference to just being gluten intolerance or is it the same as celiac?  At the time of the blood test I was eating gluten but not a lot of it.  Should I further investigate celiac. One of my symptoms with it is anxiety that starts in my stomach and it happens from food.

Hi!

What were your lab ranges?  Which test was considered positive?  

Celiac disease is a gluten intolerance.  When gluten is ingested, the body starts attacking the small intestine causing damage.  A diagnosis is usually confirm with biopsies via endoscopy by a Gastroenterologist.

      Thank you for explaining! This makes sense.

      I have been looking for new dishes. I was surprised to find dishes made of wheat straw. Are these safe for us? I'm very careful to avoid products that may contain gluten. I never thought I might have to check for wheat in dishes.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hope07! The reference range would refer to what is considered normal in healthy people. So, 7 or less would mean there is no indication of "active" celiac disease. Apparently, you are doing very will in avoiding gluten. The "Tissue Transglutaminase IGA" is the centerpiece antibody test that clinicians run when checking for celiac disease. My only reservation would be that whenever the TTG-IGA test is run, a "total IGA" test should also be run to check for IGA deficiency. When IGA deficiency is present, other IGA tests, such as the TTG-IGA can be artificially low and result in false positives. In the absence of any symptoms indicating your celiac disease is not under control, however, I would take the result you posted at face value.

      Going on a cruise next week and I’m a celiac. Bought a bottle of GliandinX. Should I just take two tablets per day as a precaution? Never tried this before!! Any help is appreciated!!

      Hola! Not sure if I’m asking this in the right place so apologies if not! I just had a full blood count as part of my first check up after being diagnosed with celiac disease 7 years ago!! With Covid lockdowns then living in Spain for 3 years and now back in the UK, I kept getting missed in the system but finally I’ve had a check up! Does anyone know what this means?  Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev:  0.30 U/ml Reference range:  Below 7 Thank you!
