18 Month Old Tests Results Are Back

HI,

I my daughters (18 month old) test results came back and her Celiac Panel was less than 3. So It is considered negative. Her IGA was 20 the range (24-122) The serum IGA was 18 and the range (24-122). So it is on the lower end. I have been reading this book about children and celiac disease. It states that children with an IGA deficency (sp?) are at an increased risk for celiac disease. I thought that was very interesting. The past couple of days I have feeding my daughter what I have been eating ( I was just diagnosed with celiac disease one month ago). Her stomach is much flatter than normal. (Her symptoms were bloating and allergy to milk) I was just wondering if Anyone else had numbers like that. With Low IGA'S.

My IgA is very low. My GI told me I would never test positive with the standard order bloodwork. (most docs don't test for IgG unless you specifically ask) He ran the gene test on me, discovered I was double DQ2 which put me in the highest risk bracket. That with the fact that I drastically improved on the diet gave him enough to diagnose me.

Testing in children is generally difficult to get accurate, simply because in many cases they're not old enough to have enough antibodies. And the fact that she's got low IgA is only working against her.

Thanks for the reply back. What is IGG?? I think I might do the gene testing too. I did read that if her IGA level was low she might never test positive.

If she is IgA deficient, she won't be able to test positive on the IgA based Celiac blood tests.

Here is information about the blood tests:

IgG is another antibody that is involved in an immune response, more generalized antibody.

IgA is made by the intestinal immune system... in case you were wondering the difference.

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary...

      I think your question needs clarification. Are you asking who gets sick from consuming some of these prolamins are all of them? Everyone in the celiac/gluten sensitive community will get sick from consuming gliadin, hordein and secalin. Some will also get sick from consuming avenin. Apparently, some don't do well with any of them.

      Prolamins are a type of protein found in cereal grains. Different cereal grains contain different types of prolamins, which are named based on the grain they originate from.  Here's a breakdown by grain:  Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. Rice: The prolamin is called oryzenin. Sorghum: The prolamin is called kafirin. Prolamins are a major component of cereal storage proteins and are known for their high proline and glutamine content and can get celiacs and non-celiac gluten sensitive individuals sick.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      Our son was put on Minocycline for his acne.  It did not solve the acne problem.  He developed drug induced lupus and pericarditis from it and missed an entire year of high school.  He literally went from playing football to bedridden in a couple of weeks.  His PCP tested him for genetic antibiotic resistance and he cannot take any drug in the Tetracycline family.  His gut microbiome was totally destroyed.  In fact he had a stool test done and had no good bacteria, whatsoever.   What did fix his (and his brother's acne) years after the Minocycline debacle was when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and the kids were tested.  They were both put on a Gluten Free/ Caesin Free diet and...
