?s After A Negative Celiac Blood Test

I had blood tests done for celiac that all came back negative. The following tests were run:

TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGA ANTIBODY

ENDOMYSIAL IGA ANTIBODY SEMI-QUANTITATIVE

GLIADIN PEPTIDE IGG & IGA ANTIBODY SCREEN

IGA

I see other posts about some people getting bloodwork done for celiac but not getting all of the possible tests done. Are there any others that should have been performed?

My 12 month old may have celiac. When he eats wheat/gluten he has terrible vomitting. I have numerous celiac symptoms, but they could also be explained by other reasons. So I'm wondering if I have celiac (but negative bloodwork), have non-celiac gluten sensitivity or just a lot of things that are coincidence. I'm considering trying a gluten-free diet but don't know if there's other tests I should have done first. Are there other tests I should look into?

Would the genetic test be a good option for my son or I?

Can non-celiac gluten sensitivity run in families?

I'm in pretty much the same boat... I had blood work done 2 or 3 months ago (iron, thyroid, and 2 types of antibody tests - no idea which ones), and it all came back negative so I was told I was not celiac but might be allergic to gluten. I couldn't even swallow bread/crackers/etc. without heartburn/nausea and so I went gluten free anyways. Turns out one of my parents was just diagnosed with celiac (asymptomatic), so I assume that's what I have. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat enough to get re-tested, though. I hope you and your son are able to figure out what's causing your reactions! :)

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
