Hello! I had my 9 year old son tested for celiac bc I recently found out that I have it. Only his DGP IgA was elevated, the other markers were in normal range. I haven’t talked to a physician about his results yet. Does this mean celiac? Would he need more testing? Here are his numbers:

tTG IgA     1.7 U/ml (Below 5.4 is normal; Reportable Range 1.7-181.5)

tTG IgG     3.3 U/ml (Below 6.4 is normal; Reportable Range 3.3-113)

DGP IgA     52.4404 (Below 14.7 is normal; Reportable Range 4.1-151.4)

DGP IgG     6.1787 (Below 10.5 is normal; Reportable Range 6-155.6)

 Thank you for any insight.

 DGP positive tests for Celiac in children and young adults are common because of their immature immune systems.

A positive is a positive. 

Your doctor may want to do an endoscopy.  Some doctors will make a diagnosis on blood tests alone if they are 10 X  normal. 

Keep us posted on your progress.

Best wishes.

Can I ask how this turned out for you? I'm in a similar situation with my 2 year old.

      Still unsure.....

      Zinc glyconate lozenges (Cold Eeze) helps fight off viral respiratory infections by coating the mucous membrane cells to protect them from virus.  Zinc is an antiviral essential mineral. Choline deficieicy can be the cause of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.  It is estimated by some experts that less than 10% eat the minimum RDA of around 450 mg.  It has also been connected to gallbladder disease.  Brain fog and high homosystein blood level is an independant indicator of cardiovascular disease. Eggs and red meat are the primary sources.  Three eggs or 10 cups of cooked brocolli a day.  Low vitamin D is a common denominator of autoimmune disease.  Is it a contributing factor or a...

      Bump up your thiamine dose!  You can take more if you don't feel anything after the first one.  Must needs getting to that 500mg. We need more thiamine when we're fighting an infection.  Zinc will help fight infections, too, as well as Vitamin C. They all work together. Hope you feel better!

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @MagsM, I had Meniere's.  Meniere's is caused by deficiencies in Thiamine, Niacin, and Vitamin D.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which affects all the essential vitamins and minerals. The B vitamins work in concert together like an orchestra.  Having a Folate deficiency suggests other B vitamin deficiencies as well.  Folate needs Pyridoxine B6 and Thiamine B1 to work properly with Cobalamine B12.  Doctors are not required to take many courses in nutrition, and often don't recognize deficiency symptoms or how to correct them.  Blood tests are not an accurate measurement of vitamin deficiencies inside cells.  Low iron correction requires copper and zinc as well...
