Hi all, I am new to this site and am still trying to figure things out. I was diagnosed with celiac almost a year ago and am still trying to get it under control. I have a few questions but I will ask in some other posts.

A sunny California Merry Christmas to all. I am going to the GI doctor for follow up next Wednesday. I was diagnosed with DH in Sept this year, with a positive biopsy. Since then, my first bloodwork showed an IgG of 179. I was just tested again after being 3 months gluten free and my IgG is down to 107. I know the range should be less than 9. My IgA is 24. I just had all the xrays done this week (UGI & small bowel). My concern is, why would I need the biopsy done of my intestines, when I have the positive biopsy of DH and all of the bloodwork shows Celiac? I just want to get some opinions from you before I speak with my doctor about this.

By the way, I felt really bad for several days when I went gluten free. Severe stomach cramps, stayed in bed all day, etc. Is this normal?

Thanks so much for any advice or input, since I am so new with this disease.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
