My son had celiac panel done and we got his results back yesterday. Can someon ehelp me understand what they mean, We wont be able to see his dr til next week.

The gliadin ab evaluation, S

Glidiadin IgG, S 69.8

Glidian IgA, S is 9 9

normal range is blow 25

These are the only numbers on his test. I know some said I should other numbers, but this is all they show. Did they forget some test, or is this enough to diagnose as celiac. Or can it be some other auto immune disorder. Or do we need to do more test. Any help would be appreciated

Paula,

Those two alone are not a Celiac panel. A Celiac panel consists of:

tTG-IgA or tissue transglutaminase-IgA

AGA-IgG or Antigliadin IgG

AGA-IgA or Antigliadin IGA

Total IGA

The IgA & IgG antibody tests aren't really enough to diagnose anything, much less Celiac. They are highly suggestive of gluten intolerance or other "leaky gut" issues, but Celiac specific testing requires the tTg.

This is taken from the Celiac Center - I hope it helps:

I honestly don't know.

With regards to the IgA - is that 9.9 or 99??

Juliet posted this link yesterday and it really helped me further comprehend blood test results.... pretty interesting read.

Looks like with an elevated IgA - there is a 97% chance that it's Celiac related, if the total syrum IgA is normal. If his is 99, with a normal TT syrum IgA and a reference range under 25, it's a pretty good bet that you ARE dealing with Celiac.

The reading is lengthy, but VERY informative!!!

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
