New, Here Are My Labs...

I have SEVERE abdominal bloating. I twist and turn to get burps up. I get sooo short of breath when I am having a severe bloating episode. Does that sound like a typical celiac symptom??? Does it get that bad for others?? I get so bloated, I look 7 months pregnant.

I had labs done and just had an endoscopy done, where the doctor said everything looked "good". I did have multiple biopsies done and will probably hear back on those by the end of this week. I had all these tests done, with results:

IgG 1219 (700-1600)

IgA 132 (70-400)

IgM 46 (40-230)

Deaminated Gliadin Abs, IgA 45.4(0-10)

"" "" "" , IgG 1.0 (0-10)

Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 11 (0-35)

tTG (IgA) 0 (0-3)

tTG (IgG) 1 (0-3)

From what I've read, the "big" test is the tTG, and I showed negative. However, I did show positive for the gliadin. Anyone speculate what that means?

There is a huge variability in the symptoms people have so yours may or may not be from celiac. If I understand right each of these tests measure different parts of your body reacting and there are different subtypes of gliadins in different types of wheat. Since you've already done the testing you could try a gluten free diet or even a multiple food elimination diet for a couple weeks and see if that helps. Even if it seems not to help you will want to pay attention to how you feel when you reintroduce wheat and other foods after eliminating them for awhile. It isn't unusual to have sensitivities to several foods, especially when first diagnosed. Hope this helps.

I have high Gliadin, but everything else negative (Gliadin in the 80's), which gave me the diagnosis of non-celiac gluten-intolerant. I am very, very sensitive to gluten (see symptoms in my signature).

There is good reading about this in a book entitled HEALTHIER WITHOUT WHEAT. You may want to read it -- it helped me understand a little better.

      Agreed, and I can't remember exactly and haven't got time to check, but I think my blood didn't normalise for eight years! For years I read this forum thinking why can't I get my numbers down - everyone else manages to.   But my gastroenterologist didn't seem to worry about it, which makes me think he either thought I wasn't complying to the diet, or he'd seen similar cases.

      Yes, being off gluten for 3 months would likely yield negative results. To get accurate testing redone you would need to restart gluten consumption for several weeks (the "gluten challenge") to the tune of at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread).

      That is one of the tests covered in the article I linked you above.

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!

      I had been off of gluten for 3 months due to food testing came back that shows gluten intolerance. I had asked my health care provider that I wanted to be tested for celiac before stopping gluten. Once they actually listed it shows my immunoglobulin A was really elevated and on the AB, IGA part showed <1.0. Would this be a false negative given I had not gluten in months? I’m very frustrated that the the test was not done while eating gluten.
