Gliadin Ab Iga

i just got an endoscopy done and also a full blood panel. i'm waiting to hear back the results. my food allergist found that my gliadin ab (iga) was at 32 with the reference range <11 u/mL. i'm feeling awful. is it safe to say that there is definitely some kind of gluten allergy going on or could this be something else? thanks for any tips before i can get back in to the doc!

Yes that was a postive test for celiac. Since you are done with testing start the diet. You could already have a great deal of relief by the time you go back for the results.

thanks,

also, what exactly is Deam. Gliadin Pep. IgA and IgG? is it the same as what i mentioned previously? my thyroid doctor did a test of these and they were in the normal range. just curious if they are the same thing and if so, why the # would be so different. my Deam IgA was 5 and Deam IgG was 1.

Anybody have any thoughts?

Why would one gliadin antibody IgA be at 32 and the "Deam. Gliadin Pep. IgA" read 5? are they two completely different things?

Two different labs did the testing which were about a month apart. I had my thyroid doc retest while I was giving blood (which was the one that read 5) but she didn't seem to know too much about it and said to take the two results into my gi doc.

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
