Celiac Panel Results - Help?

Hi everyone,

A few weeks ago I asked my GYN to order the celiac bloodwork that someone here recommended. I just received a fax of the results, which are hard to read but here's what I have:

IGG - 99.00 (normal 649-1634) (does this mean I have an immune system disorder?)

IGA - 187.0 (normal 73-358)

IGM - 165.0 (normal 53-251)

Hemolysis Index - No Hemolysis

Icteric Index - 1 (0-15)

Lipemia Index - 4 (0-50)

Endomy IGA - Negative

Endomy A Titer - ?? (can't read some of this, it's T?P, then says SCREEN TEST NEGATIVE, TITER NOT PERFORMED

Gliadin IGA - 3 (no reference range given)

Gliadin IGG - 1 (no reference range given)

Any thoughts on this? My GYN says she's not trained to interpret for celiac. I am actually most concerned about the very low IGG.

Thanks all!

Hi! Can your GYN refer you to a gastroenterologist, or can you find an internist who can handle that? Good luck!

Hi - I was surprised to get only one reply to this. Can someone who understands this bloodwork please tell me if it rules out celiac? Or let me know if the low IGG is something to be concerned about? Thanks ...

The tests you had done are not the typical celiac panel. It would be difficult to make a celiac determination based on these numbers alone. That along with the very low IGG make this difficult to interpret, as it is possible the low IGG could be affecting the results.

I think your low IGG definitely needs to be evaluated further. Your GYN needs to refer you to someone who is experienced with this.

IGG has to do with your immunity. Your number looks very low. It could be a lab error, that happens, but it certainly needs further evaluation.

Hi, thanks for replying.

I had to go back and find my original post on this site where someone told me what tests to ask for. The celiac panel? They were:

1.Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG

2.Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA

3.Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA

4.Total IgA level.

These are the tests that were on the script for the lab. My faxed print-out copy was admittedly hard to read.

Now that I have this list (above) in front of me, I can see how the two compare.

1. AGA-IgA = 3 and AGA-IgG = 1

2. EMA-IgA = negative

3. ??

4. ??

Instead of having a tTG-IgA and a Total IgA, I have an "IGG" and an "IGA" and an "IGM" as well as some sort of Icteric and Lipemia Index. Whether or not these correspond with what was ordered for lines 3-4, I don't know. Maybe only certain labs do these?

However, the first 2 lines seem correct? And are negative for celiac I assume?

Thanks again,

K

yes, the first two appear to be part of the celiac panel. Those are indicating negative for celiac.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

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.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
