What Does This All Mean?

Hi! I just picked up the lab results for my five year old son. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2004 and have been watching my son carefully. He was diagnosed with vitiligo last month and we were told of a strong connection between vitilito and celiac disease. I immediately took him in for a celiac panel. Now I have the results and don't have a clue what they mean. Can anyone help me?

IGA: 132 H (Reference 17 - 93 mg/dl)

Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA: 4 (reference 0 - 19 units with 19 units or less....negative, 20 -30 unit....weak positive, and 31 units or great......moderate to strong positive)

Seems like 4 means negative...correct? But what does the 132H mean? Why is that number above the range? Does that mean anything?

Hopefully someone can help. His pediatrician was no help at all. Thanks!

His total IgA is high, which is not really any particular concern. The celiac test is negative.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Jay Heying · Posted

      Hello everyone, this my first time to this website and I need some help. I’m 65 years old and have been living with Celiacs for about 15 years. My doctor has suggested I start taking a probiotic named  Integrative Pro-Flora-Concentrae. Has anyone else used this probiotic specifically? If this one isn’t celiac friendly can you recommend another please. Thank you.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission.   They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.   Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission.
