Do you mean the IgA tTG or total IgA? My tTG was around 78 with >19 positive and I'm not IgA deficient. My last tTg was 6 and that was Feb. of this year. I didn't get the whole panel unfortunately in 2008. I didn't have the AGA IgA/IgG until 6 months later and thery were both positive.(I can't remember the #'s). Had them repeated in Feb. also and the IgA AGA was just under so it was considered negative but the IgG AGA was still positive.

Anti-gliadin IgA: 57 Units (greater than 10 is pos)

Anti-tissue Transglutaminase IgA: 98 Units (greater than 10 is pos)

TTG IgA was listed as ">100". My lab document says negative result is <4 and definitive positive is anything >10 (someone else posted >19 as positive. Doesn't matter, I guess b/c 100 is > 19 anyway!) :)

My anti transglutaminase IGA was 130

Less than 36 was considered normal at the clinic I went to. My reading was listed as ">200".

Mine was something along the same lines. My consultant said it was the highest he had ever seen.

My results were Anti-gliadin IGA 135, and tTg IgA was 92. Reference range for both is anything under 10 is normal.

Iga somewhere around 70; ttg 220 or so. Over 20 was positive. And villi were completely flat.

11.6 and 6. Mildly blunted villi.

Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA: 33 Units (active dietary gluten sensitivity)

Fecal Anti-tissue Transglutaminase IgA: 11

I was concerned that 11 was so close to normal that I should consider it normal. I called enterolab and they told me that there is no such thing as a little positive. It is like being a little pregnant. Your either positive or your not, and I am positive.

Anti-gliadin IgA: 10 units, less than 10 being normal

Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase IgA: 10 units, less than 10 being normal

As farmwife said, I originally thought maybe it was a mistake since I was "on the line" between gluten sensitive and "normal", but I saw dramatic changes in my health after going gluten free. My husband is super excited that I'm out gardening this year...this time last year I was literally bedridden and could barely eat anything. A lower IgA doesn't really mean much, as I've seen a lot of people on here with strong symptoms and lower IgA numbers, and people with little or no symptoms with very high IgA numbers.

My IgA was >100 and my doctor said it was the highest he'd seen. I just got tested again, a year later (my idea to make sure it was down and that I'm not getting contamination!) it came out at >29 which is not good, means I'm getting contamination and I thought I was being really strict, must have very low tolerance.

inmygenes Apprentice

That's interesting, as mine after a year on a gluten-free diet is IgA >29 and I've always been mostly asymptomatic and feeling healthy. It's such a complicated disease and makes me wonder what else is going on. I know doctors that will dismiss patience with a borderline results as not needing to cut out gluten, seems they are very misled.

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.
    • Aretaeus Cappadocia
      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
