DGA IgA positive DGA IgG negative tTG both negative....Celiac?

[dq8positive]

Hi.

I received my first batch of results and it shows

ttg iga negative

ttg igg negative

dga iga positive (above 140)

dga igg negative

Could that point to a celiac diagnosis?

Thank you for your help!!!

It only takes one positive on the celiac panel to proceed to an endoscopy to obtain small intestinal biopies.  I had a positve DGP IgA and tested negative to all the other celiac tests, even in follow-up testing.  My biopsies small intestinal damage.  

Your doctor should refer you to a GI.  Keep consuming gluten or the tests will be invalid.

Thank you @cyclinglady. :). 

I was wondering if anyone had the same results and had a negative biopsy. I have looked everywhere and I have never seen anyone having DGA IgA positive with a IgG negative.

There are several members who tested this way.  Try using the forum search box.  You are right that there is not much research/literature on this situation.  Believe me, I have looked.  

What caused you to be tested?  For me, I went for a GI consult for a colonoscopy because I hit 50.  My GI noticed my life-long anemia, somhe ordered a celiac panel.  Good thing or my diagnosis would have never been caught.    Yep, that was my only symptom at the time of my diagnosis.  I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s some 12 years earlier.  I can confirm that five years later, I did have a follow-up endoscopy which revealed a healed small intestine.  So, There is no doubt that I have celiac disease.

thank you again. I started getting side pains and just odd digestive discomfort. Doctors thought I had gallbladder issues but all tests came negative for gallbladder.

Did you get a HIDA scan for the gallbladder?  Mine was removed because it became infected after failing to empty.  My HIDA scan results were at 0% and anything close to 20% is a candidate for surgery.  My ultrasound and CT were normal.  No stones.  It seems like a family curse, but I strongly think (I am not a doctor) that if my celiac disease diagnosis had been caught, I would still have that body part!
