My Son's Test Results Are In....please Help

Hello! We just received my 2 year old son's test results after he has been back on a regular diet for 3 1/2 months. Here are the results....

Endomysial Antibody screen (IGA) was Negative

Endomysial Antibody Titer Not performed because IGA screen was

negative

Antigliadin IGG was 21 <11 Negative, 11 - 17 Equivocal, >17 Positive

Antigliadin IGA was <3 <11 being negative

TTG Antibody IGG was <3 <7 being negative

TTG Antibody IGA was <3 <5 being negative

Since the Antigliadin IGG was the only positive, does this mean that he probably does not have Celiac, but is sensitive to gluten?

He had allergy testing done back in January and it was found that he is allergic to wheat.

Thank you for your help.

Based on those results, I would say that your son definatley has an intolerance to gluten and he could very likely have celiac disease (It may just be in the beggining stages). I would recommend getting the tissue transglutamase test (tTg) which is highly specific for celiac disease. However, the results will not be accurate if your son is on the gluten-free diet.

The blood tests are not 100% reliable on adults, and even less reliable on kids. If you are not going to do a biopsy, then the best bet would be to try him on the diet and see if he shows improvement. If you are going to try to do a biopsy, then please keep him on gluten. All of my children tested positive on the IgG antigliadin only with regards to the bloodtests. All of them react severely with gluten and have much improved health on the diet.

I am impressed that they also tested your son for the TTG IgG. They don't usually test for that unless there is an IGA deficiency. Is your son IgA deficient?

God bless,

Definitely is a problem with gluten and I agree with Carrie it looks like results may show beginning stages.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
