You might want to ask for the complete celiac panel to be done.  It includes more antibodie tests than just the ttg.  Test results like DGP IgA and DGP IgG can be helpful to know the levels for comparison later.

Some of us react to oats the same as wheat, rye and barley.  There is a condition called DH (dermatitis herpetiformis) that is a manifestation of celiac disease.  It can cause itchy lesions/bumps/rash on the skin.

A nutrient panel would be a good idea and maybe also avoid dairy.  But a doctor would need to suggest how to replace the calcium.

Not all people with celiac disease have digestive issues.  I don’t, but celiac was confirmed by biopsy.

Why was he tested?  Why did someone suspect celiac?
