Pls Help With My Blood Work Results

[Renee813]

I recently went to to the doctor and got my blood work done and I’m so lost about these results.

Renee,

According to the notes I have taken since my diagnosis over 10 years ago, "if both DGP (IgA and IgG) are high, celiac disease is almost certain."

In your case, only deamidated gliadin IgA was high. Your other tests were negative. Hopefully, others will weigh in with their good perspectives. Did you at any point, start going gluten free? How are your vitamin levels (D3; B12; iron)?

My diet did change but I’m not fully gluten free, and my vit d3/iron levels were fine. I was also tested for my thyroid level which were fine as well

Ok, thanks. I think it's standard practice that if any one of the tests on a celiac disease panel are positive, it's considered celiac, but check with your doctor. More than one test on my panel was positive, but before going gluten-free, I insisted on a repeat test a month later which showed more or less the same thing. Then I got the biopsy, which was positive.

Is it normal for your deamidated gliadin IgA to be high? All of my blood work came back fine

It is not.

It's good that your other bloodwork came back fine.
