Test Results - Equivacol


Pandamom

Recommended Posts

Pandamom Newbie

I just got these results

TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY, IGA

TTG ANTIBODY, IGA <3 Reference Range: <5 U/mL negative

GLIADIN ANTIBODY (IGA) 14 Reference Range: <11 U/mL negative, 11-17 Equivocal, >17 positive

IMMUNOGLOBULIN A 404 Reference Range: 81-463 mg/dL

My young daughter was diagnosed after positive blood test and endoscopy earlier this year. She is gluten free but the rest of the family eats far less gluten then we did before her diagnosis.

Doctor says to follow up with GI doc.

Any advise.

I got the same results. Not really sure what it means. Guess it means not sure

I'd say there is a good chance you have celiac since you have a daughter diagnosed with it. If you are wanting a biopsy then stay on gluten until it is done. Even if it isn't celiac, you still could be gluten intolerent. Worth trying the diet with her after you have completed any more wanted testing.

Your Dr. is offering good advice to follow up with GI doc. Anti-gliadin probably means you're gluten sensitive but you might not have damage or autoimmunity. You probably need a biopsy to figure out what's going on. Good luck!

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
