TTG iga from 100+ to 8 .....

I'm gluten free for 1 year and 9 months.

my TTG IGA was 100+ at diagnoses.

5 months later it was 12.

4 months ago it was at 8.

0 - 3 U/mL is normal.

once it hit 12 its only been dropping by 2 - 3 points every 6 months.  Not sure what it is now.   My last Dr visit was like 2 months ago and I get tested again in December.

I still have some stomach discomfort though even at a #8...  not like it was when it first started...  but still there.  I asked my Dr if a number 8 is still high enough to be causing symptoms. he said yes...

 

is it normal for it to still be in weak positive range after almost 2 years???

We've had other report very similar issues with trying to get their tTg levels to the normal range.

The first thing we usually recommend is re-checking your diet for hidden gluten (see below), eliminating oat (even gluten-free oats), and milk/dairy:

I asked my Dr about Milk and antibodies.   he said it's only found with Children. But maybe he's wrong

I wasn't eating dairy for over a year after being diagnosed.   Even now I rarely eat it.   sometimes I'll have certified gluten free pizza which has dairy called Caulipower pizza. It's made by a Mother who has 2 celiac kids..   I'm sure they're eating it too... so it must be safe enough

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
