Hello,

I recently had the basic blood tests done for celiac (Gliadin, total IGA, etc.) which came back negative. Celiac runs in my family and I have many symptoms so my Dr ordered salivary tests which she said could possibly be more conclusive. I am not doing the biopsy because of the invasiveness and my current health state, and am totally fine with eliminating gluten for several months to see if it makes a difference in my health, I began two weeks ago. However, it would really help to know what is causing my health issues. If you can help me figure out these results, I wood very much appreciate it!

Total Salivary SIgA: 5 Normal Range (25-60)

Salivary Gliadin IgA: 5 Positive range (>13)

My Dr said that because my total SIgA was really low, that this could make the gliadin a false negative. She also said that if the total SIgA was low, this means that the mucosal lining of the gut is compromised, as seen in celiacs. I also showed positive for thyroid antibodies (???), she mentioned this is common in celiacs.

Does anyone know more about these tests? Do celiacs usually have low SIgA? I am not familiar with the tests and wold love more insight as to what they mean and if they correlate with celiac. I know that ultimately how I feel is the biggest thing here, it would just give me piece of mind to know if I have celiac or not, and if I'm on the right track with the elimination diet.

Thanks for your help, t.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
