We are new to all of this. My 3 year old son had the lab work done for Celiac and I have a copy of the results but don't totally understand them. The pediatrician has referred us out to Pediatric GI doctor but that is a over a month away still. His labs are as follow, can somebody help me understand them better. I put his results in bold. The doctor says his labs are suspicious but not diagnosed.

<5 Negative

5-8 Equivocal

>8 Positive

Gliadin Antibody IGA 25 (High) u/mL

<11 Negative

11-17 Equivocal

Gliadin Antibody IGG >100 (High) U/mL

<11 Negative

11-17 Equivocal

>17 Positive

Ttg IGG <3 U/mL

<7 Negative

7-10 Equivocal

>10 Positive

Immunogloblin A Endomysial Antibody SCR 95 Range is 24-121mg/dL

Thank you for your help.

My 22mo son is only gliadin IgG positive but also has low IgA which likely skewed his other tests to be falsely neg. I just saw Dr. Saftka at Univ of MD yesterday and she said that in kids 3 and under, +gliadin is very specific of celiac disease but biopsy is still gold standard for diagnosis. DS has his next thurs. I can let you know but we"re expecting +celiac disease

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
