Hi..Dr just faxed over my results I don't see him until the 2nd of June and I was wondering if I could get an idea if my results:

Ferritin 37

Tissue Transflutaminase Antibody, IgA 29 H

IgA 262

Gliadin Ab IgA <3

The only one I actually am interested in is the 29H

THANK YOU!!!

What are the reference ranges for the IgA and tTG tests?

It appears that you are in normal range for the IgA test (which doesn't test for Celiac, it just measures your ability to make IgA antibodies). It appears that your tTG, which is a great test for Celiac, is positive. Your doctor will probably want to schedule a biopsy to confirm Celiac damage. Continue to eat gluten until you see your doctor.

If you have any questions before your appt, you should contact your doctor.

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
