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.

Double post error.

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.

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

      By Jane02 · Posted

      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?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      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.
