2Elevated tTg IgA Antibodies 2 years into strict gluten free diet
What about gluten in meds, supplements and oral hygiene products? What about getting glutened from kissing your husband after he has consumed gluten? -

2Elevated tTg IgA Antibodies 2 years into strict gluten free diet
When you say that your antibody levels are elevated, do you have the reference range? Have you tried a low FODMAP diet to deal with your dysbiosis? -
2Elevated tTg IgA Antibodies 2 years into strict gluten free diet
Hello! My tTg IgA antibody levels continue to be elevated despite being on a strict gluten free diet for almost 2 years (1 year 10 months). The iGg antibody levels have gone down to normal values but the IgA won't (this is for TTG only, not anti-gliadin antibodies). They are checked every 6 months, and they usually decrease a bit, but still not in normal... -

But LP023 said: RCD is rare and difficult to diagnose. For example, someone may respond to a gluten-free diet when young and in later life develop RCD. Of course, it may be something else but that is the whole point of diagnosis: medical professionals will have made great effort to exclude other causes.

Hello! My tTg IgA antibody levels continue to be elevated despite being on a strict gluten free diet for almost 2 years (1 year 10 months). The iGg antibody levels have gone down to normal values but the IgA won't (this is for TTG only, not anti-gliadin antibodies). They are checked every 6 months, and they usually decrease a bit, but still not in normal range. The last reduction was the smallest yet, from 25.8 to 23.3. I've asked several different doctors from primary care to GI specialist to everyone in between I've seen, and I get mixed answers about if that level should be normal at this point. My diet is mainly whole foods I prepare myself in my gluten-free kitchen. Any packaged food I do consume is clearly marked gluten free or certified and usually isn't processed, just packaged. My husband does eat gluten in the house but has a separate area in the kitchen and doesn't prepare it on our cookware. I do continue to experience symptoms but I am also battling gut dysbiosis and candida overgrowth for about a year and a half now, which diet & treatment hasn't really helped. I'm looking for any insight you all have. Thank you! -

Someone reading this thread who is suffering from RCD, which is a difficult condition, could be misled. This is a major forum within the community of people with coeliac disease and misinformation needs to be challenged.
