Here are the names and results of the test. What I found interesting about this is when I asked for the copy the mood changed a little. My daughters pulmonologist is wonderful but i also thisnk that she didnt quite understand thae results either. She did tell me that she questions the hight IgG# and wasnt given a very good answer except "this child does not have celiac disease" Ive never met the poor guy and i dont like his attitude.

Here they are and the lab that did the test was Labcorp ( I was surprised)

AntiGliadin IgA 1 U/mL *

AntiGliadin IgG 26 U/ mL*H

Anti-Reticulin IgA Negative titer*

Anti-Reticulin IgG Negative titer*

tTG IgA 1U/ mL*

tTG IgA 1U/ mL*

EndomyAb IgA Negative

ImmunoA, Quant 79mg/dL*

Those are it I hope somebody can help me a lil to understand what is high. I will say that my pulmonologist was very adomint about begining the diet, she really seemed eager. I think she is still leaning toward the g-tube on sept 10. So I plan on starting immediatly.

Thank you all so much for you support and help!

Do you have the ranges that the lab provided? Each lab has a slightly different normal range, and without seeing them I can't help you.

I looked up the lab and the IgG is out of the reference range. This means welcome to the club!

The positive IgG could indicate a wheat intolerance/allergy, and not Celiac.

from the FAQ on www.celiaccenter.org (Dr. Fasano is one of the leading Celiac pediatric physicians and researchers)

There is a particular series of blood tests called the

I wish I did have the ranges but that was my thoughts exactly... the fact that she is 8 years old and has CF ( meaning she has had so many test run and this is the first time that a test of any kind has come back out of the range) tells me that even a little out of range is a problem. Her sweat test for Cystic Fibrosis was not a super high number but she has progression of the disease in a rapid way. I work very hard to make sure she is getting the vitamins, fat, calories that she needs and she gets sicker and sicker that tells me that something else is wrong .Apparently to some doctors it means more meds needed well Im sick of hearing that crap and I am standing my ground. We will begin the diet and My heart tells me that she can and will get better! I will refuse to let them put that tube in untill she has been on this diet for at 3 months. And maybe longer. I really appreciate you guys!

Chriss, Please start out also dairy free & soy free... Please read up on dairy if you need to, but no one needs dairy, especially anyone that has an auto immune illness...

Stick to it & I bet you are going to see some great results, please keep us posted.

Oh & please please try to just feed whole foods & not get the gluten free goodies right away, maybe a little something for a treat... but not every meal, every day...

best for meat, seafood, veggies, fruits, nuts & eggs & maybe some white rice...

re B12, take a sublingual B12 everyday - EVEN if your levels tested okay, the "so called right level" is not high enough, just take a B12 every day - & Chrissy, that goes for your child also...

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
