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.

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.

This might be helpful: 

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.

      If you're more comfortable starting slow, that's fine, but do increase your dose to 500 mg per day as quickly as possible.  The World Health Organization recommends 500 mg thiamine HCl per day when deficiency is suspected.  Dr. Lonsdale had researched high dose thiamine for decades, and he has used higher doses, 1 to 3 grams in some cases.   Like I explained above, it's at that 500 mg level or higher that passive diffusion happens and thiamine can get into cells.  Inside the cells, thiamine turns the mitochondria back on.  Mitochondria produce energy the cells use to function.  I had been taking a multivitamin containing thiamine HCl regularly and still had become deficient. ...

      Thanks! I think I'll start slow. See what happens. Should I notice the thiamine working almost straight away if I'm really deficient? What kinda of difference did you notice? More mental? Of also physical in the sense of more energy?    Sorry for all the questions!

      Absolutely no danger of overdosing on the stuff.  Thiamine is nontoxic, and safe.  I had gotten to 1000 mg of Thiamine HCl a day at one point.   Do continue taking the multivitamin with the other B vitamins.  You may want to add a magnesium supplement because magnesium and thiamine make enzymes together.  I like Magnesium l-Threonate (Neuro-Mag by life extension).  You may want to add a B Complex in addition to the multivitamin (take them at different times).  All the B vitamins are water soluble.   With Thiamine HCl, there's a "magic moment" about 500 mg, where sufficient thiamine can get into the cells by passive diffusion, and the difference is amazing.  In...
