6 month post diagnosis blood reports

[StayHealthy]

I am 32 year old male, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease six months back. I have been strictly gluten free and eating mostly homemade food since then. I have been very careful about cross-contamination as well. This week I had six month follow-up and another blood test. My antibodies are still 'abnormal' as indicated by bold numbers below. Is this expected? Are these results good or bad? I was expecting blood work to be normal at the six month mark.

 

deamidated gliadin Abs IgA       six_months_back: 40     now: 9         [range: 0-19 ]

deamidated gliadin Abs IgG      six_months_back: 132    now: 49       [range:  0-19]

t-transglutaminase (tTG) IgA     six_months_back: >100  now: 14       [range:  0-3]

t-transglutaminase (tTG) IgG     six_months_back: 17      now: 5         [range: 0-5]

Congratulations!  Those results are terrific.  Most members take up to a year to get results in the “normal” range, so give yourself more time.  Keep up the good work!  ?

Congratulations!  You're doing great!  My results were similar, at 6 months they had come down a lot, a year later they were all normal.  It looks like you are doing everything right.  Keep up the good work!
