I had blood tests done about a week ago. I asked for the results and they sent me a copy in the mail. I was disapointed to find that they only checked for IGA and gave me no numbers.....it just says negative under the words In Range and Reference Range. How sensitive and how accurate is this test?

There is an article about testing/interpreting test results on this site see:

https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-25106195269.c4

Did it just say IgA or IgA anti-gliadin antibodies or IgA class anti-endomysial antibodies ?

The last one is the most specific for celiac. You can copy the article and bring it to your doctor and find out which one they tested for.

Under Test Name it say Endomysial Antibody SCR (IGA) W/REFL TO TETER.

Well after doing some of my own research I was wondering if it is possible I am IGA deficiant. I have had a long history of infections and resperatory illnesses like pnemonia 3x....I have had reacurrent sininitis that was treated for over a year with antibiotics ending only with surgery. I have currently had another infection for over two years with being on antibiotics for months at a time with little results.....every time my blood is tested I have a high white blood cell count. I seem to almost have somthing and it seems I have a hard time getting better. I have asthma, allergies, lactose intolerant, tonsitis since 8th grade, amung many other things. Is this really that rare? I still donno what to even make of the test results? Sorry ti bring this up again but I am just trying to figure this all out. What are the chances my duaghter could have the same problem?

it's an easy test-----just have a total IgA serum test run. our ped gi ran a total IgA serum along with the TTg on every one of us. the ones that have continued testing don't need to have the IgA serum run again since we know they are fine in that area.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
