Help Me Understand Celiac Panel Results, Please

[TMJ]

Can someone please help me understand the following Celiac Panel results that were mailed to me last week?

It's been almost 4 weeks since the test was done, one doctor ordered the tests...my PCP's office took the blood...now, neither office will give me any understanding as to "what" this means...until my appointments.

One appointment is in over a week...the other, is in Sept.

Here's the results...and, ranges.

Transglutaminase IGA Autoantibodies: < 4.0

Reference Range: < 4.0

Reference Range for Tannsglutaminase IgA Abs:

Less than 4.0 U/ml ......Negative

4.0 - 10.0 U/ml ...........Weak Positive

Greater than 10.0 U/ml ...Positive

Reticulin IGA Autoantibodies : < 1:10

Reference Range : < 1:10 titer

Endomysial IGA Autoantibodies: < 1:10

Reference Range : < 1:10 titer

Gliadin IGG Antibodies: 8.7

Reference Range : <10.0 U/ml

Glidain IGA Antibodies: < 1.2

Reference Range : < 5.0 U/ml

I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound ignorant about this, I just don't have ANY insight...except, to know they did the test.

Please, help me understand what these results indicate.....Thank You!

It looks like everything is in the normal range. Are you gluten free? The numbers don't indicate celiac but you could try the diet. Perhaps you are gluten intolerant and will feel better if you stop eating it. Good luck.

Thanks, Sue....no I'm not gluten free...however, after reading more regarding testing...I realize my tests may not be very accurate for this...since,I do not eat bread, cereals, crackers, etc hardly ever, so, now I'm questioning the accuracy of the results.
