@Tracy007, we can't comment on your results unless you also include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the IGA and the IGG and please specify which IGA and which IGG tests were run. There are more than one of each that can be run. IGE is not a test for celiac disease but is an indicator for allergic reactions. Celiac disease is an autoimmune response, not an allergy.

There is no range it says in known ?

That sentence doesn't make sense grammatically so I'm sure what you are trying to say. I would assume that since the report says no follow up is needed that the test results were negative. 

If you have symptoms that align with celiac disease then you may have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but for which there is not testing that has yet been developed. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. It does not damage the lining of the small bowel, however, as does celiac disease and therefore produces no antibodies that can be detected in the blood. Both conditions require a gluten free diet.

IgE is typically an allergy test, and not a test for celiac disease. IgA and IgG both 0.1 um/l are likely your celiac disease test results, but as @trents mentioned, without a reference range there is no way to know, although if either were positive you would likely require a follow up appointment.

      Thank you. i actually get my cheeses generally from Costco:  Brie, and Manchego. but I recall getting reactions from buying Supermarket shredded Mexican mix cheese, and now I know why. Thank you.

      Hello my gluten free friends,  I am 2 years out from diagnosis and doing well. A year prior to having any symptoms I noticed a swollen lymph node. This has been 3ish years ago now. The lymph node currently is still swollen. I recently went back to the doctor for it. They did an ultrasound and found it to have “no suspicious activity and benign in nature”. My doctor said it could have been one of the first signs my body was giving me that I had an autoimmune disorder. She said it may go away eventually or could always stay slightly swollen because of the disease. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I don’t know if I should ask for a biopsy to confirm it’s not cancerous.    Emma

      Be careful of pre-sliced cheese, too.  I have been ok getting it cut at deli's.  That, too, can be a gamble, but so far there has been no cross-contamination.  I have heard they use such a small amount of cellulose, they do not have to include it in the ingredients.

      Fushiacat, thank you for your response. i didn’t realize they were adding it to cheese products to prevent it from caking. That explains a lot.

      Many years ago, I discovered that cellulose makes me very sick.  It is often in pre-shredded cheese or the parmesan cheese in the green shaker bottle.  It is used to keep the cheese from sticking and turning into a large lump. Many medicines use this as a filler, so I have been forced to get my rx's compounded, which is never covered.  Check with the drug manufacture before getting something to see if it contains cellulose.  It is usually listed as an inactive ingredient.  Cellulose can be composed of a variety of things, including wheat, so it is a gamble using it if cellulose is a listed ingredient.  I know of one other person with this same problem.  Supplements also have cellulose as fillers or the capsules themselves can have it. If I mistakenly get this, it makes me sick for days.
