Both my kids had there blood drawn last week after my DX. My oldest came back @ 3.1 youngest @ 1.6 for the IgA. Ped told me anything under 15 is normal.. But isnt this the one that is ONLY present IF there is an immune reaction? I know that I am smeared with MISINFO and Dr. GReen's book cant get here fast enough... ( mom did flip thru for me but said she couldnt find anything about levels or tests.)

So I am wondering everyone's take on the levels ~is it true that this is normal? I am pretty sure I read something to the extent that this sHOULD NOT BE THERE..but I could be just freaking out :0)

THanks!!!

The test is not perfect. Even if there are zero antibodies present, a non-zero result is not only normal, it is to be expected.

My daughter was diagnosed with celiac at beginning of oct. we did her testing and her tTG test was 161. today it is 7.5 !! im not sure what her IgA was but im sure it was alot higher than 15. I dont think you have anything to worry about.

Our son's number was over 100 when diagnosed. Recently came back at 3. The doctor was thrilled, as were we.

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
