Since I gave birth in March 2016 I have constantly been unwell and had issue after issue. I asked for a celiac test after I noticed I had every single symptom. In June 2016 my total iga was 0.5. I was diagnosed in March 2019 with iron deficiency that I had been apparently suffering from for a while but the doctor didn’t tell me. I had been to the docs so many times and was nearly bald and losing my toe nails and barely able to move till I was finally told I needed iron. I was retested in March 2019 and my total iga was 0.7. Is this what they call iga deficiency? Iv always suffered from infections and catch every bug going since I can remember. Would these results mean the celiac test is a false? I’m in the uk if that helps. I don’t really understand it all. Fed up of being fobbed off.

What was the lab range for the Immunoglobulin A (IgA) test?  If you are actually IgA deficient, your doctor can order IgG celiac test versions.

      @TempCloud  How are you doing?  I hope you aren't reacting too badly? I would most likely react like Trents.  That said, I have read accounts of some coeliacs not showing any symptoms after glutening, after a long break from eating gluten.  But should that happen to you, unfortunately it should not be interpreted as the 'green light' to go back to gluten.  I am afraid coeliac disease at the present is a lifelong condition, and so, too, must be the gluten free diet.  Here are some tips to try, to help you feel better.

      If it was me, within 2-3 hours I would be throwing up violently with excruciating abdominal cramps for 2-3 hours. When this phase was done I would go into the diarrhea phase for several hours. But every celiac is different in how they respond to getting "glutened".
