Igg And Tissue Transglutemaninase Levels

I got my IgG and Transglutaminase levels reports

My IgG was 40.6 with the normal reference range being between 0 - 29.9

My transglutaminase was 16.9 with the normal being lower tha 7.0

These seem quite high and wanted to know what others had?

I had the tissue transglutamase test and I believe that my number was around 20.

I have to admit I'm not sure which tests my son had, but they were represented in a ratio.

Anything less than 1 : 2.5 is negative for Celiac (Mom, Dad and big brother).

Ty's was 1 : 650.

Yikes! We have a follow up soon, so I'll ask for a look at all the paperwork. At the original test and first follow up we were all so overwhelmed, it didn't occur to me to ask about the tests that were run.

i got tTG results from our doc today. he told me normal is less than .7 kassie was 18.7, and molly was 22.8. he couldn't remember tianna's, but he said it was in the same neighborhood has the other 2 girls. i asked about there being no damage in the biopsies, but he said that they probably do have damage. the damage can be spotty, and if you miss it you don't see it. their numbers indicate that there is damage.

Mt IgG was 11 units (negative)

My IgA was 34 units (Positive)

My Tissue Transglutaminase IgA was 99 units.

My biopsy indicated "sever partial to near total villous atrophy"

I am 51 years of age and was only diagnosed nearly 4 weeks ago. I suspect I have been suffering from Coeliac disease most of my life, certainly for the past 20 years. Doctor after doctor said it was IBS!! Now at last I have found that it wasn't all in the kind! I thought I was a hypochondriac! Apsrt from not feeling physically well and wasting money on unprofessional doctors, I have also spent years seeking help for depression and anxiety (again spending thousands of dollars seeking help). It will be interesting to see if the anxiety and depression lifts to some degree as I try to stick to the gluten-free diet.

Hi Caeli

I've had positive blood results and am waiting for the biopsy before going gluten-free. Just wanted to say though that what you said strikes a real chord with me - the whole being a hypochondriac bit and having depression and anxiety. here's to a healthy furture for us :D

Sorry for the previous blank reply...this is my first post!

My TTga was in the 290s when first tested a year ago. Anybody have results like that??

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
