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.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Can we assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while? If so, it sounds like you may be in the super sensitive group, as others here have reported similar issues when working in bakeries, pizzerias, etc. Until you find other work, and perhaps don't have roommates who cook gluten foods, you may need to consider wearing an N95 mask to avoid breathing in any particles.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      By PixieSticks · Posted

      I used to work in a kitchen where gluten was very prevalent. Cookies, sandwiches, etc. I noticed I started having joint pain, and my hands would flared up in hives while working there. I would sometimes bake cookies during my shift and open the oven having the air from the oven go directly into my face.     Even at home my roommates sometimes fry things with regular flour and my joints start to hurt, brain fog, it was hard to move for a week, I just genuinely felt weak my legs like jelly and painful.  I never put two and two together before.   I’m not eating the food I feel like it’s causing issues.   My roommates don’t think there’s a correlation as I’m not eating any of the food they’re preparing. I’m trying to find another job now, I got one coming up at a restaurant that serves gluten food and I’ll be working in the kitchen. I’m thinking I should try to find a non food job. Anyone else worked food service and have flare ups?

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.
