Hi there- I read somewhere that Gliadin IGG is not as accurate as Gliadin IGA. I tested positive for Gliadin IGG antibodies and negative for Gliadin IGA.

TRANSGLUT IGA normal

ENDOMYSIAL IGA normal

RETICULIN IGA normal

GLIADIN IGA normal

GLIADIN IGG 1.58

ref range <or=0.90 negative

0.91 to 1.09 equivocal

>or=1.10 positive

Could this be a possible false positive? I am really banking on that this is what I have and am hoping the gluten free diet will help a lot but I have gotten my hopes up for other things to make me feel better (normalizing thyroid, adrenals, hypoglycemia) and been let down and I don't want this to be another one of them. Is it only accurate with a biopsy?? Thanks so much.

Did they test your TOTAL IgA? Without that, the IgA results are meaningless. If you are deficient, then the IgA cant Dx you, but the IgG can.

I'm not sure. What it says on the test is:

GLIADIN IGA 0.15 (reference range same as above GLIADIN IGG

Nowhere does it say total. So are you saying that this IGG is enough to diagnose me?

Thanks for your help.

Well Igg can only diagnose if you are iga deficient. I would call your dr and ask him to run an test for total iga.

Of all of the tests which were run the antigliadin IgG is least specific for Celiac Disease. This is why its important to know whether or not you are IgA deficient. If you are not producing sufficient IgA everything will come back negative even if you do have Celiac.

If it is determined that you are IgA deficient the more specific tests can be ordered which will check IgG antibodies rather than IgA.

that really makes me think.

years ago when I started having problems they did an IgG food allergy panel on me.. wheat came up, but not the highest possible in the range of "sensitivities" ... in February they did a whole GI panel, soy came up positive, but gluten/gliadin didn't. That test also told me I am VERY IgA defficient (stool). Could there be a connection there? I haven't been diagnosed with celiacs disease, although we just figured out that the problems my dad has been having is because of wheat, he's been wheat free ever since, but not gluten free like me (I am wheat free from a horrible head rash which I won't elaborate about here, and I've recently gone gluten free because I think it might help my other problems and I might be a Celiac). I am looking into gene testing, and need to convince my parents. If it isn't good, then we know my dad and I don't have Celiac..

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
