2 Celiac Panels, Run 21 Days Apart

I am not totally sure why I had the test run twice. I think because it was ordered by a PA - and perhaps my actual doctor didn't get the results, or whatever.

But, I had the Celiac panel run two times, 21 days apart. My results were very interesting. The only numbers I have, from the 2nd panel, are the IgA and IgG. But, after going gluten-free, those numbers dropped.

On 7.6 - IgA was 6 - supposed to be less than 11, on 7.27 - it was 5.

On 7.6 - IgG was 69 - supposed to be less than 20. On 7.27 - it was 47.

On 7.6 - I started eating a gluten free diet.

So, with the numbers dropping after being gluten-free.... I'm assuming that is a clinical positive response. The dietary response has been great.

Is this my "proof?"

I'm seeing a GI on the 22nd. Obviously, I'll be taking both sets of test results. =)

It looks like you should have had a TgA since you appear you may be deficient in IgA making that part of the test invalid. This is possibly why they reran the test because the IgG and IgA are conflicting but that they didn't measure TgA possibly indicated they are a bit clueless.

They did run ALL the tests, but the only 2 I have the 2nd set of results for is the 2nd set of tests. I should have been more specific - the above are gliadin AB's.

I'm not IgA deficient - I was well within normal ranges on the first set of tests. =)

Ahh..then this explains why they reran since your IgG is elevated but not your IgA.

Just asking but you are not pregnant are you?

Nope. Not pregnant. My cycles are wonky though. =(

I assumed that the numbers dropping was an indication that the gluten-free diet is helping me. Am I interpreting that incorrectly??

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure. These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract. Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop. Ataxia is just one of over two hundred...

      symptoms.

      @Rebeccaj, When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air. Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract. If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies...

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.

Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.
