Is Gliadin Igg/iga Ab Prof, Eia Same Thing As The Dgp Test?

My daughter gets her blood drawn in about a week and a half and on her labwork order sheet it says Gliadin IgG/IgA Ab Prof, EIA. Is this the same as the DGP test or is it something different?

She's also getting Endomysial Antibody IGA and tTG IgA. This is her second time testing since she was gluten free the first time around and they did the full celiac panel then.

is she eating enough gluten prior to testing?

i dont know what the "EIA" is?

it looks like they're ordering the older Antigliadin AB test- the DGP is the newer one.

they should add to that order: TTG Igg, and Total Iga serum...

Yes, she has been eating plenty of gluten and it has been almost 3 months. Thanks for your reply! I'll call and ask her GI. He is very knowledgeable on celiac and I would be surprised that he would run the old test but that does look like what it is.

I'm assuming they're not running the Total IgA Serum since they already did that and it showed that she was not IgA deficient. So, I'm also assuming from that she would not need the tTG IgG since she is producing sufficient IgA. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

I'm really wanting to make this process as smooth as possible!

oh- if we already know she's making sufficient Iga, then yes- there's no need to add the tests i mentioned.

the DGP/newer test- i only learned about on here- its possible that it may not be available at every lab??? idk. my PCP & Gi ordered pretty complete panels for me- but they used the older Antigliadin.. not the DGP.. so, ya, maybe not everyone can do it. ???

Ok, so I was looking over my daughters results from her original test after I posted this. It has Gliadin IgG/IgA Ab Prof, EIA listed but then under that it has Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA and IgG listed with the results. I'm guessing maybe that is the DGP test and maybe it's just worded a little different? I think it's throwing me off because it doesn't say anything about "peptide". Hmmm.

yes, i believe that is the DGP... im not an expert- but that's what it seems like.

Maybe the Prof EIA has to do with the testing equipment.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
