Helpful Chart For Blood Test Results

My husband found this--it looks very helpful in analyzing supposedly "inconclusive" bloodwork. The chart is about halfway down: Open Original Shared Link.

Sorry if this is a duplicate of info someone may have already posted.

That is a GREAT website! The only difference I found was, that in the lab "norms" that my MD's use, the normal range for antigliadin antibodies is 0-11 for negative. Thanks for posting a really informative site!

I just see the chart number 4 that says how sensitive the tests are. Is there somewhere that give what levels indicate positive or negative for celiac?

Getting my blood drawn this Friday so I am very interested!

Hi, Mia,

I think it may be different from lab to lab. When you get your results from your doctor, ask for a copy of the lab work. It should not only give what your specific numbers are, but what the reference range is.

I just discovered that I need to drink a lot (20 ounces or so) before getting blood drawn--otherwise they poke me black and blue trying to find a vein.

      Try a multivitamin maybe it will cover what you are deficient in.

      Agreed, and I can't remember exactly and haven't got time to check, but I think my blood didn't normalise for eight years! For years I read this forum thinking why can't I get my numbers down - everyone else manages to.   But my gastroenterologist didn't seem to worry about it, which makes me think he either thought I wasn't complying to the diet, or he'd seen similar cases.

      Yes, being off gluten for 3 months would likely yield negative results. To get accurate testing redone you would need to restart gluten consumption for several weeks (the "gluten challenge") to the tune of at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread).

      That is one of the tests covered in the article I linked you above.

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!
