:huh: My daughter has been gluten-free for 2 months. Still having stomach pain. Gastro doc ran Celiac panel again.

{tTG} Ab, IgG <20 neg

{tTG Ab, IgA <20 neg

GLIADIN Ab IgA 35 HIGH (>30 MOD TO STRONG POSITIVE)

iGa, serum 247 high (RANGE 33-235)

our doc is away for the week. Another doc said it can take a while for numbers to come down. DOES ANYONE AGREE? cAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THESE NUMBERS?

Any input would be helpful.

those numbers have come down quite a lot in two months. it's looking good to me. at this rate, all her numbers will be well within normal range in another two months! is she feeling mostly better?

congrats! you're doing great!!

It can often take 6-12 months for the levels to go to zero...and it can be even longer if you've been ill for a long time (like an adult). The key is that the trend is showing a dramatic drop in the IgA antigliadin levels...that's the one to watch, as it can respond quickly with an increase when gluten is in the diet. Have your doc check your daughter's levels again in about 6 months and compare to these.

One last question. what is IgA serum? That one is still really high. Does that mean she is still getting gluten somewhere? This is so confusing.

I'm guessing that's total IgA, but it's not that high out of range. (You note that the range goes up to 235, and she's only 12 points (or around 5%) above that. Given the improvement you've seen, I wouldn't worry too much.) When in doubt (or worry :-) ) do call the doctor! :-)

Mine are still strongly positive after a year gluten-free, and I'm probably the most strict person I know when it comes to this diet! It angers me to be working this hard and be this strict, and still have to hear bad news from the latest test results. I don't know what else I can do, either. It's enough to make me wanna say the heck with the diet, but I know I can't do that.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
