Help Me With Test Results

I am looking for help in understanding test results. Because I have celiac disease (diagnosed at age one), we had my daughter age 7 tested as a precaution. She was tested just before age 2 and came back negative (which I realize now isn't always accurate at that young of an age.) Anyway, she doesn't seem to have any major symptoms -- once in a while complains of a stomachache or headache -- but not on a regular basis and perhaps not anymore than another child might.

I asked our ped for a copy of her test results, but didn't get a good explanation of what each test meant -- especially the one that was a weak positve. He just said we'd use this as a baseline and retest her again to see if anything has changed.

On a side note, I'd say she eats a normal gluten containing diet. I usually cook our family dinners to be gluten free, but her breakfast, school lunch, and snacks are all gluten filled.

Antigliadin Abs, IgA Result 1 NEGATIVE (Neg - 0-19, weak Pos 20-30, Pos >30)

Antigliadin ABS IgG Result 3 NEGATIVE (Neg o-19, Weak 20-30, Pos >30)

Translutaminase Iga Result <2 NEGATIVE (neg 0-3, weak 4-10, pos >10

T-transglutaminase (tTG) IgG Res 6 WEAK POSITIVE (Neg 0-5, Weak Pos 6-9, Pos >9)

Endomysial IgA Negative

Immunoglobulin A Result 96

What does the weak positve in her tTG IgG mean? Can I assume that this number will only go up as she continues to eat gluten and get older?

Thanks for your help!

Is there anyone with knowledge on test results that can help me? Like I said, dr. seemed concerned enough that we should definately retest again - but didn't have any other info than that to share. Is there a resource online that does a good job at explaining test results?

THanks!

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific? 
    • mishyj
      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
