Equivocal Gliadin DP IgA Lab Test Result - Am I Celiac?

Hello, ya'll!  I'm a new member of Celiac.com and am seeking your opinions on my undiagnosed, chronic illness.

Have any of you suffered from malabsorption syndrome as a symptom of your Celiac disease?

I ask because I’ve been dealing with the following symptoms that include malabsorption for the past 7-8 months without any relief:

  • 60 lbs. weight loss,
  • Chronic fatigue,
  • Recurring upper-middle abdominal pain after meals,
  • Mild constipation,
  • Recurring nausea,
  • Recurring low-grade fever,
  • Recurring chills,
  • Night sweats, and
  • General malaise

(Note: I do NOT have the 'classic' symptom of diarrhea) 

I've been prescribed numerous antibiotic medications for suspected GI infections, but none have provided any relief from my symptoms.

A copy of my Celiac disease lab test results is attached.  What do you think?  Am I Celiac?

Thank you for your time! ?

Hi kidprodigy,

You might have celiac.  The 2nd part of the diagnostic process is to have an endoscopy of the small intestine.  The doctor should take 4 to 6 biopsy samples from the small intestine lining.  Then they have a lab check the biopsies for damage typical of celiac disease.

You should be eating at least some gluten every day for 12 weeks before the blood tests and 2 weeks before the endoscopy.  That is called a gluten challenge.  It takes time for the antibodies to build up in the blood stream.

I just wanted to add that I only test positive to the DGP IgA and I had moderate to severe intestinal damage.  I have had the full celiac panel run many times too.  Never a positive on the TTG.

Were you eating much gluten prior to the test?  If you weren’t that could make the values go down.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.
