I have recently been tested for celiac by my GP. Tests results were Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase IgA 2.5, Anti-Gliadin IgA 4.5, Anti-Gliadin IgG 12.0. In the literature that I have found it states that these tests can not rule out celiac disease, but with a low anti tTG IgA a test for quantitative IgA should be done to rule out IgA deficiency. Can anyone tell me if this is done in Sask? When I asked my GP she said that because all the test were low that I did NOT have celiac and would not do further tests. Also can anyone else tell me which Dr's they have seen and been good at diagnosing this? I would say I do not have the typical symptoms of celiac but do have many that I have seen listed as symptoms (constipation, mouth sores, fatigue, etc). Thanks for any help you can provide

I am from Alberta and do not see why they would not test that?! Makes no sense. I also do not understand why they have not simply sent you for a gastroscopy??? best way to diagnose celiac then use the bloodwork to moniter your ttg levels after. Honestly if you saw a doctor in my small town all you would have to do is ask for whatever test you want and they will do them.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
