I am sooo confused by these test results. My tissue transglutaminase IG-A came back 236.17 but the ranges listed are 84.50-499. Ive seen people with an IG-A of 102 that is positive for celiac. I don’t know if they are running any additional panels. Any interpretations please?

From what you've just posted I don't have enough info to be sure how to interpret your results. Normally 236 tTG would be high on most scales I've seen, but your results should say something like <100 normal....any change  you can post an image of the results? Alternatively you should also ask your doctor of course.

I think 236.17 is a total IgA result, not a tissue transglutaminase IgA result.  84.5-499 is a reasonable range for total IgA.  Tissue transglutaminase IgA results do not have weight per volume (milligrams per deciliter i.e. mg/dL) units.  There was another forum member recently whose results were laid out in a very confusing manner on the printout and it was difficult for her to tell which was which.  Perhaps you could post a photo of your results?

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

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

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
