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.

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this.  I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure down there perhaps added pressure to already sensitised pelvic and rectal muscles. Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?

      How bad can this get ?? Does it go away??  How long ? Thank you

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat.  I am going to keep checking. Thank you. The Azure Market looks promising 😁 Take care S
