Question about Gliadin IgA serum level


MissMollyMarie

Recommended Posts

MissMollyMarie Apprentice

I'm sorry to bother y'all again, but as I've been doing more research, I have never seen (or read) of anyone with a Gliadin IgA score of 182.6.  I believe the highest I've seen was a 27.  This score seems extremely high and has me a bit worried. Has anyone else had a score that high? Are there any other diseases/illnesses (besides celiac) that would cause such a high score?

Oh, and one more question...  Do you feel that IgA 299 (standard range 68-359 mg/dL) is on the high side?  Are there any other diseases/illnesses that could cause such a high score?

Any thoughts/input would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your help. 

IgA 299 (standard range 68-359 mg/dL)
Gliadin IgA 182.6 (standard range less than 19.9 CU)
Gliadin IgG 3.2 (standard range less than 19.9 CU)
Tissue Transglut IGA Less than 1.9 (standard range less than 19.9 CU)
Endomysial IgA Screen NEGATIVE

If anyone could share their input, that would be wonderful. ☺️

My deamidated gliadin peptide IgA was 143, with a normal range up to 19.  Not quite as high as yours, but still high. I’m not sure if this is exactly the same test as yours.  Gliadin IgA is an older test, but some labs write that when it is the deamidated gliadin peptide test. High numbers on celiac antibody tests don’t always correlate with severe intestinal damage, but likely do indicate celiac disease and not something else.

Your total IgA of 299 is fine, well within the normal range.

Thank you, RMJ!!!  I am such a worry wart and that makes me feel so much better!  It seems that the number is high, but not unheard of. I thought that 299 was high, but it is within the normal range, so I will try not to read more into it.  Thank you for responding. I truly appreciate it! 🙂

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
