Ttg Igg Test Results


NJceliac

Recommended Posts

NJceliac Apprentice

I was diagnosed with celiac with positive serology results as well as a positive biopsy after a workup for premenopausal osteoporosis. I also have IgA deficiency so most of the serology tests are not able to be used to follow the antibody levels. On this forum I have seen some people give specific values to tTG antibody results even if they are greater then 100. The lab I used only posts >100 and does not give a value. My question is for those of you who get tTG IgG ab levels drawn and get a specific value i.e., 295 instead of a value >100, which lab was the bloodwork sent to?

Mine was done by Labcorp, and I got a specific value for my TtG IgG. The ranges were very different from yours however.

I'm not sure the exact value matters. If you came in positive, you are positive. The degree of damage does not necessarily correlate with the number of antibodies, some people have low or no antibodies and still have lots of damage, others have high levels of antibodies and have spottier damage.

My celiac panel was done by Quest and it indicated a tTG IGA Ab >100 with >8 being positive. I am not IGA deficient.

Hello! I am new to the forum and I am wondering if someone can help me determine my results...? I just had blood work done through LabCorp to test my IgG and IgA panels, but I unfortunately don't understand what it means. If anyone can make heads or tails of what this might mean or if you can point me in the right direction where I can find out more, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!!

Is this exactly how it was written? Very confusing, but I THINK the capital N's are your results - hard to tell which test correlates to which result. If I am correct this would mean all your tests were negative.

Please double check this is how it was written - maybe someone else will have a better take on it.

This is one of the most confusing lab reports I have ever seen! I am hoping part of the problem is formating on the computor. I am thinking that the deaminated IgG is a weak positive. and i don't see a total IgA in this mess.

If i am right, you are positive on the THE most sensitive test for celiac. good luck

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
