Length Of Time For Levels To Go Down.

Our 10 year old son was diagnosed with celiac about 3 weeks ago. His readings were so high that the doctos said they have never seen reading so high in a person - e.g.mornal range for Giadin IgA and IgG are about 12 - his were over 100. His Transglutamidase IgA AB was over 200 where normal levels are around 10! We have decided not have the biopsy given the high positives of the blood. Just wondering what time frame people really saw a difference when having their blood retested. We have seen complete changes in our son - and know 100 % that the diet is working for him.

My son was diagnosed through IGATTG with levels over 100. Six months later he was re-tested and the number was 3. So obviously it takes less than 6 months for some. I'm sure different people and kids, especially with different ages and weights, react at different speeds.

I'm getting testing for Ttg this week and have been gluten free for about 6 weeks, the doctor said I wouldn't have to eat gluten (not much else). Seeing this post makes me think I do need to eat something just to "top up" the levels so I don't get a false negative. What do you reckon?
