Antigliadin Iga

I stopped eating gluten in August 2008... WOW. What a huge improvement. Unfortunately, my allergist didn't tell me to get a celiac panel before I stopped eating gluten. By the time I realized that I should be tested I have already been off gluten for six weeks and the panel came back negative.

EMA negative

TtG IgA <1 (normal is <3)

Total IgA 310 (normal is 70-400)

Two weeks ago my allergist ordered a new celiac panel. I was kind of surprised since I've been gluten-free for the last seven months. I figured... oh well. Let's see what the test shows. The good thing is that this celiac panel included ALL the appropriate tests.

Antigliadin IgA 9.4 (normal is 0-10)

Antigliadin IgG <1.2 (normal is 0-10)

TtG IgA <1 (normal is <3)

TtG IgG 3 (normal is 0-5)

EMA negative

Total IgA 365 (normal is 70-400)

Keep in mind... these are the results after I've been off gluten (very, very strictly) for SEVEN MONTHS. Makes me wonder how high my antigliaden IgA was before I started the diet! I found an article from Scott Adams about the different components of the blood test... he says that in people with normal total IgA (like me), a positive antigliadin IgA is 97% specific for celiac disease.

I also found the arguments in this article very interesting. It would be stupid to wait for a heart attack before trying to prevent one... why should a gluten-sensitive person wait to develop full-blown celiac disease before going on a gluten-free diet?? :rolleyes: I feel grateful not to have MORE damage than what I already have.

Interesting because for me antigliadin IgA was the only one that was "normal" 17 with a cut off of 20. The IgG and the TTG were off the charts.

I think its safe to assume it would have been over 10 7 months ago ;)

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
