Got My Test Results And I Am Worried

My chiropractor just got me the results of my blood tests

The only item that was out of order was the Gliadin Antibody (IGG) where anything above a 17 was positive, I got a 45. But, all of the other numbers were normal.

So, am I wasting my time going to a GI doctor? Will they just tell me it is not enough evidence to be concerned? Just wondering what you all think.

thanks!

It might indicate two things: that you have Celiac Disease or that you have a gluten intolerance. The IgG antigliadin test, while not as great as the others, is STILL included in the panel, so there is some diagnostic help provided in it.

I personally don't think going to the GI is a waste of time because they may be able to identify other potential problems (i.e., instead of gluten related, or on top of gluten related).

Dolly, besides the gliadin IgG, what other tests did they run?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
