Madison's bloodwork came back with IGG 73.2 indicating a strong positive. It was the only blood work that came back positive. After seeing our immunologist today he said he would be very surprised if her biopsy isn't positive as well. The wait begins...?????

This is so strange to me since I had my youngest tested and his IgG came back strong positive but everything else was negative they told me he didn't have Celiac. They told me the IgG test had the most false positives and if the IgA was negative not to worry about it. My oldest had already been diagnosed and we decided to get the other son tested when we were told this.

The IGG is also the first one to go up, so it might also mean that they do have celiac, but that the other bloods haven't gone up yet. You might want to keep an eye on any symptoms and test again in a couple years. OR just go gluten free anyway, you might be pleasantly surprised that they feel better on the diet.

THat is very interesting! I don't know why the immunologist thinks her biopsy will be positive...hmmm? He did mention that if it doesn't come back positive, it may be worth putting her on the diet. Her other tests apparently came back in the negative range.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
