Is it likely this is Celiac?

[AdelaW]

Hi! In the last couple weeks I had a blood panel done for digestive issues and tested weak positive for celiac. My tTG IgG was a 6 with the range being 0-5 negative, 6-9 weak positive and 9+ positive. All my other test levels were normal such as tTG IgA, deamidated gliadin Abs IgG and deamidated gliadin Abs IgA. However I must note that my level of IgA was too low and could cause skewed test results so they had to run a second blood panel with the IgG and used that as my main test due to the deficiencies of the IgA antibodies in my immune system overall. So for me the IgA test results seemed to be null due to the deficiency. My doctor stated she was unsure whether this was a false positive and I got an endoscopy today (still waiting for results) but she mentioned my small intestine had some flatness which can be an effect of celiac. With this weak positive and flatness in my small intestine does it seem likely I could have celiac? I just wanted to get some opinions from others in the community, thank you!

Well come to the forum @AdelaW!

One positive celiac blood antibody test with flattened villi in the small bowel would strongly support a diagnosis of celiac disease. There are some other medical problems that could cause these things but the odds of this being the case are very small when compared to the likelihood of celiac disease being the culprit.

Thank you so much! I appreciate it, I was thinking the same thing so I guess it's just waiting for the biopsy results now! Thanks again!
