Test Results Too

I just got back test results and my doctor really wasn't much help in letting me know what they mean. He referred me to a GI to talk with him.

My results are: IGA positive, IGG Negative, Transgluten Negative

He said if my IGG were positive it would be a more clear sign of Celiac but the IGA is not as reliable. What does this mean ? I feel like he is speaking in a different language...

It is really the other way around, if he means that the antigliadin IgA was positive and the antigliadin IgG was negative.

The antigliadin IgG is elevated in more people, so they say it is less specific (but Dr. Ford says those with antigliadin IgG need to go gluten-free too www.doctorgluten.com )

Officially the antigliadin IgA being positive means it is positive for celiac, and here in Europe they certainly would do the biopsy then.

Here in this country the labs do not even run the antigliadin IgG, nor the tissue transglutaminase IgG, unless the total IgA shows IgA deficeincy.

So it is tha other way round.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hi Florence- This forum has been a wealth of knowledge on supplements. I am always weary of brand names as well. What I found through Consumerlabs which independently tests for metals, digestive breakdown of supplements and if what the packages states is indeed what is in the product I have found the number one for super B complex is Kirkland and for multivitamin...

Reactions can range from Gut discomfort such as Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I have been diagnosed with Refractory Celiac disease Type 2. Which is quite a shock because my Gastroenterologist has been performing gastroscopy & colonoscopy's - 4 in 2025 & a gastroscopy on the 20/3/26 and they didnot tell me how bad my Celiacs disease is and has been. It was my haematologist that checked more of my symptoms and came up with the...

      Hi Florence- This forum has been a wealth of knowledge on supplements. I am always weary of brand names as well. What I found through Consumerlabs which independently tests for metals, digestive breakdown of supplements and if what the packages states is indeed what is in the product I have found the number one for super B complex is Kirkland and for multivitamin for Men and woman 50+ Natures made multivitamin for her as it gives the right amount needed for both men and women as the mens has too much. For Probiotics ALign came out on top the 5x and the one for bloating. Knitty Kitty provided me good supplement brands as well.

      Gluten-Mimicking Proteins that can affect some Celiac individuals.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi all: I have had Celiac for 47 years. I have not seen much info on the following, and 3 of these  affect me. In case this info helps someone else, I offer the following: Gluten-like proteins is a topic I want to share, as they have added bad reactions to my Celiac condition.  Reactions can range from Gut discomfort such as Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, and inflammation causing a feeling of being very warm to hot. The following are considered  Gluten-Mimicking Proteins: Corn (Zein protein) (this causes inflammation with me). Millet Panicin protein) Sorghum (Kafirin protein).  Potato (Patatin protein, is NOT considered a Gluten-Mimic, nor is Oats (Avenin) but they do cause reactions in some Celiac people... I eat potato and I vomit, and get diarrhea. gluten-free Oats causes me to have Nausea, and Corn causes me  Inflammation.  I hope this helps someone.  Wishing the very best to all.   Florence.

It was my haematologist that checked more of my symptoms and came up with the result. So I am trying hard to get some nutrition into my body. All of this info on supplements and nutritional diets is very helpful.  Regards Margaret.
