Blood And Biopsy Results

Hi, All

I went for blood testing last week and my tTg was at a high value of 24. However, my Endomysial Iga was lower than the 1-10 ratio, whatever that means. Not surre if both need to be positive for for diagnosis. Today I had my EGD to confirm the diagnosis, and after the procedure the doctor gave me some pics and said she is not going to officially diagnose me until the biopsy results come back, but she said she would report that my villi in the duodenum was "less prominent and blunted." What does that mean? Can't she just have said in her past eperiences as a GI specialist that, yes you have the disease? I just get frustrated as to why there is hesitancy in telling me, "Yes, Matthew, you do have Celiacs.

So I ask the forum: Is it safe to say, yes I have Celiacs?

Also, is there a way I can see a picture of a healthy duodenum on line and compare it to mine? Thanks!

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
