Ttg blood test results with IGa deficiency.

Hi 

I was wondering what peoples Ttg test results were with an IGa deficiency. 

My IGa came back slightly low, 

0.63     range 0.7 - 4.0

And my Ttg came back normal,

0.1    range 01 -  10.0

I know a deficiency in Iga can create a false negative coeliac test but would it be this low?

I also wondering what the next step would be as I am anxious about battling the doctor for more tests. 

He had never heard of IGg, DGg or Ema. So I don't know if I could convince him to test for them and I feel its going to be a lot to gethim to send me for a Biopsy. 

Should I push? Also I live in the UK.

According to UK NICE guidelines for coeliac disease, IgA deficiency is defined as total IgA less than 0.07 g per litre. Yours are not low enough to affect the result by this guidance. What leads you to suspect that you may have coeliac disease?

      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.):
