Positive Iga Antibody Serum, Negative Ttg...help!


Sierra's Mommy

Hello:

Just wondering if you experts could shed light on the following lab results just received over the phone. My younger daughter and I were diagnosed with blood and biopsy earlier this summer. We just took my older daughter in for a screening, and the doctor said:

"Her IGA serum antibody was positive with a 21.9--no range given, just interpreted positive." However, her ttG was interpreted as normal." Anyone have experience with this? She shows absolutely no symptoms and of course, she is very upset with even the possibility that she will have to give up her favorite foods, like her sister.

We're going to get in to see the PED GI soon, however just wanted to know if it's possible to have antibodies without the disease.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

~Julie

This was covered by a couple posters last week. One of them fantastk? said her daughter's results were like your daughter's and her doctor recommended a gluten free diet.

Not much help but it's all I've got... RA

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!
