Recent test results

[Joyes]

I was diagnosed 12 yrs ago and have been gluten-free since. Recent antibody tests show deamidated gliadin ads, IgG at 15 (with normal <15). 
Does this indicate gluten exposure? A little bit of exposure? Or maybe test inaccuracy? What does it mean? Dr says probably some cross contaminationThanks for your help. Other tests:

Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 

 At 0.7 

Tissue

Transglutaminase, IgA <0.5

Tissue

Transglutaminase, IgG <0.8

normal range for all tests is <15

@Joyes, the info you supply show your TTG-IGG a <0.8, not 15. That is well within normal range. The normal range is <15.

Yes but deamidated gliadin is 15  Thats my concern

Deamidated Gliadin

Abs, IgG

Normal range: below < 15.0 U/mL

Value 15.0

It is so borderline I would not worry about it. The DGP-IGG is a second tier test anyway and not quite as specific for celiac disease as are the IGA tests.

Ok thanks!

Also, do you have scores for that test from your original diagnosis for comparison? And if not evaluated by the same lab it wouldn't help anyway since different labs use different reference scales. There are no industry standards for these tests in that regard. I think the important thing here would be to look for trends over time if you get tested regularly.
