So the obvious celiac tests that I can pick out are deamidated gliadin abs, iga which was 2.6

t-transglutaminase, iga which was 1

so considered neg

but immunoglobulin A, QN, serum was high at 438. I need help with that one, can't find much on it.

other tests that were abnormal: Vit D low, put on the 12 vit d therapy.

wbc high at 11.1

neutrophils high at 85

lymphs high at 13

monocytes low at 2

neutrophils (absolute) high at 9.4

glucose high

all cholesterol high(been put on a low fat diet)

bilirubin abnormal at 2

I would reallly appreciate any help with these.

So I have been doing some reading, does having a negative giladin and ttg but a high immunoglobulin A mean I don't have celiacs?

Apparently the Immunoglobulin is just used to see if your deficient, which sways makes the other tests present negative.

When you say the immunoglobin A, does that mean total Iga?? I had a celiac panel done (four tests) and three of them came back as normal and my total Iga was high. My doc says I'm fine and not to worry about the high number. I hope that someone reponds to you, as I am also curious to know what a high total Iga means when all of the other blood tests are normal.

Thank you for your kind response. I am not sure, as I am so new to this too. All I know is that it is a immunglobulin serum A that came up high.

Which must mean one of our doctors is wrong! I hope not.

Any input from anyone who understands these tests is greatly appreciated.

Some people with celiac disease have an IgA deficiency. This can make the tissue transglutaminase or anti-gliadin IgA numbers falsely appear negative. The total IgA is there to rule out IgA deficiency. You do not have IgA deficiency, so that means that is not the reason for your low antibody tests.

What does the doctor say about your high glucose? Are you diabetic? Is that causing your symptoms?

He just said that he thinks it could be borderline celiac. I saw the gastro today. She scheduled me for the biopsy next week.

Am curious as to what you found out from the gastro.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also...

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to...

I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?
