Julia530 - I have the same gene structure and most of the symptoms you have experienced plus more.....I agree with you whole heartedly!! There are approximately 10 (NOT TWO) genes that can predispose a person to having Celiac Disease. I read in Pub Med that HLA DQA1:05 can result in Celiac Disease in approximately 1 in 875 people. While it is obviously more... -

Hey! Thanks and yes of course I’m posting from England. Thanks for the info 😊my count has been up and down for over a year and my platelets are slightly low too but have actually just increased again. -

What is the normal range for your TTG IgA test? The units are not standardized so they can vary from lab to lab. The normal range is usually listed as <# (less than a number), so anything less than that number is considered negative. TTG IgA results should never be presented as 0 U/mL because this type of test has a lower limit of detection - i... -

TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?
Hi, a query about testing. Background: I have existing diagnosis of pernicious anaemia (b12 deficiency) autoimmune condition. Diagnosed 5 years ago. Symptoms for 10 years. Initially got better with b12 shots (for like a month or so) but still kicking around. So query Celiac and other clustered autoimmune conditions to PA. If celaic it would...

Julia530 - I have the same gene structure and most of the symptoms you have experienced plus more.....I agree with you whole heartedly!! There are approximately 10 (NOT TWO) genes that can predispose a person to having Celiac Disease. I read in Pub Med that HLA DQA1:05 can result in Celiac Disease in approximately 1 in 875 people. While it is obviously more rare it is NOT BENIGN and should not go unnoticed. Go get the book "NO GRAIN, NO PAIN" and I highly suggest you read it cover to cover. It is written by a Chiropractor who quit his medical education when the VA wouldn't allow him to treat the Veterans with debilitating arthritis with a grain free diet. I have been grain free for over 10 years now.....the facts are we are being lied to! There is a form or gluten in every protein in every grain on the planet of which there are 1000 or more. Just because all they are testing for is the Gliadin in wheat is no excuse to report only partial facts.

TTG IgA results should never be presented as 0 U/mL because this type of test has a lower limit of detection - i.e. something might be there but the test can’t see it that low. I can get more technical if you want🙂.

Hi, a query about testing. Background: I have existing diagnosis of pernicious anaemia (b12 deficiency) autoimmune condition. Diagnosed 5 years ago. Symptoms for 10 years. Initially got better with b12 shots (for like a month or so) but still kicking around. So query Celiac and other clustered autoimmune conditions to PA. If celaic it would maybe be more silent as don't get vomiting, diarrhea or weight loss. Symptoms = chronic fatigue. Muscular&skeletal pain. Hot hands and feet (worse an night), nausea after eating, tiredness after consuming food like bread and pasta. Celiac screen came back (private blood test): TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml. My main question is, is it worth getting total iga for further testing ? I have been advised that 'low' would only count as 0 U/ml for TTG IgA not .3. Oh and did the genetic testing and have the gene thing. Was also critically low for folate levels in recent tests All other tests showed no likelihood of other autoimmune conditions like thyroid (luckily). Anyhow, any thoughts welcome but be kind, just trying to get well l.
