My 14 month old had labs done, I was told he is IGA deficient and the celiac tests are negative becasue he is IGA deficient.

I picked up a copy of the labs today and i have no idea what they mean..if anyone could explain anything, it would be appreciated.

Gliadin IGG/IGA ab Prof, EIA

Deamidated Gliadin ABS, IGA results: 1 unit

Deamidated Gliadon Abs, IGG 2 units

Endomysial Antibody IGA Negative

T-Transglutaminase (ttg) IGA

t-Transglutaminase IGA <2

IGA Subclass 1 32.8L Limits 58.2-263.5

Done by Labcorp

The ranges are 0-19 negative

20-30 weak positive

20-30 moderate to strong

My biggest questions are: is negative mean you have it...what is IGA subclass 1?

It would appear that the IGA subclass 1 is what I have always seen referred to as the total serum IGA. His was 32.8 where normal is 58.2 to 263.5, therefore he is IGA deficient, meaning he does not make the normal levels of antibodies. This means that all the IGA tests are meaningless - the negative levels on these tests are irrelevant.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
