Hello new Celiac here. I tested positive three weeks ago. My daughter has very similar issues (already lactose intol). I had her tested by a different doctor and they said "everything looks normal". I dont think they gave her the right test. When we went to the lab I said this is for testing for Celiac right? She said well this is a way around of it. What does that mean?? I want to call the doctor back but want to know what exactly I am asking for. Can any of you tell me what the name for the Celiac test is? Thanks in advace

Called and spoke wirh the nurse today. They did the glaidian antibody test. Her rrsults were less then 3 and she said anything above a 17 would be a positive result. Guess we are going gluten-free for 2 weeks and see what happens.

I would say you need a minimum of a month gluten free if not longer.

Thanks! Of course I am already gluten-free but I really want to get her tummy problems figured out before she graduates this June. I want to help her with the new gluten-free way of life before she leaves.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
