Hey everyone, brand new here. Our 2 year old just got her blood test results back and we have decided to forgo the biopsy. Below are her results and I would like some experienced input as to how her numbers match up with others who have Celiac. Thanks.

Ttg IgA : >128

IgG: 228

IgA: >213

Hi and Welcome!

You will have to post the ranges, because every lab has a different interpretation. Also, this is the full Celiac panel:

Antigliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgG and IgG

Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA

Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA

Total IgA level.

Testing is not as accurate as we would like at this time, especially in children under the age of five. There are many mothers here with children with Celiac. They are always willing to help or offer support.

The ranges for all three that i posted are as follows:

<7 negative

7-10 equivocal

>10 positive

The results we got back were for these three only; TtG IgA, Gliadin Peptide Ab IgG, Gliadin Peptide Ab IgA. Reticulin IgA screen is still pending as well as "additional testing".

Those are definately strongly positive tests. You should see a big difference in her health and perhaps even mood after you get the diet started. There is a lot to learn at first but it will be well worth it and you have come to a great place for info and support.

Those are pretty high numbers--your little one must have been pretty sick. I know I was pretty miserable when I was diagnosed and I came in at 127. But, I did as much research as I could, thoroughly cleaned my kitchen and was really disciplined. I brought the number down to 6 in six months. Every one reacts differently, but if you're really careful, your daughter will feel so much better for your efforts.

      Newly diagnosed, struggling

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @CeliacNew, If you are Vegan to help you feel better, reconsider returning to omnivore.  Actually, since you are already on a very restrictive diet, transitioning to gluten free might be easier for you.  Read the ingredient labels, Particularly vitamin D and Choline require supplements for vegan diet because our primary source is sun, eggs and beef.  B12 also.

      Multiple symptoms and mixed provider responses

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you've completed testing and still don't have improvement, start a trial gluten free diet.  Looking for imprvement that may indicate Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, which is 10 times more prevalent than Celiac Disease. Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, D, and C can manifest as skin rashes.  Virtual guaranty you are deficient in vitamin D.

      Help vetting HLA-DQ typing provider

      So those rs numbers tell researchers where the dbSNP is located in a Genome so that other reasearchers or an AI system can look in that specific spot for that Snip of information.  You can look those rs # s by pasting the numbers after rs into the lookup on this page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/ right under the Blue header bar at the top of the webpage.  Since you are not a researcher, I do not know how this will help you though.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So I posted here once before, and everyone advocated that I get into a GI doc.  I finally got into my functional health appointment on 6/16 to get my blood results evaluated and get the Gastro referral. I was told that I would be fortunate to see a gastro doctor by December, because of the number of people waiting to get in, but they did believe that I needed to see a GI doc among others.  Well, the stars aligned. I got home. I looked at MyChart and it showed an appointment available for later that same day. I never clicked so fast on an appointment time. The gastro doc ran some additional blood work based off the December values that had confirmed my daughter's suspicion that I have...

      Worried about being isolated

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.
