My labs

[Jem23]

My IgG lab says 0.9 index while my IgA says 0.14 index. Does anyone know what this means? I know it sounds crazy but I’m almost depressed thinking it’s not celiac after all. I was just so hoping to have an answer finally to all these symptoms so I could finally get rid of them. I’m becoming so frustrated.

I do not know what these mean. There are three types of blood tests for celiac disease with both IgA and IgG versions.  Plus, different labs have different ranges.  So, we would need to see the lab ranges.  

• Anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG)
• Anti-endomysium (EMA)
• Anti-deamidated gliadin peptides (DGP)

I’ve never seen this “index” measurement either and can’t seem to find ranges for them.

Then you most likely need to call the doctor’s office or lab.  There is no way to guess.  I assume the most common celiac test is the TTG versions.  It catches most celiacs but not all.  I test positive to only the DGP.  Some celiacs are seronegative.  I think it is about 10%.
