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!!!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
