Finally Got My Hands On The Test Results

So my allergist gave me the results of the old test (one month of eating gluten) and redid the test today (two months of eating gluten).

Normal range on all: 0.00-15.00

Gliadin IgA: 13.30

Gliadin IgG: 8.78

tTg IgA: 4.82

tTg IgG: 1.13

I can't figure out a frame of reference. Does the presence of any of these antibodies signal a potential problem? Or are these fairly normal levels.

All your tests are negative because they're <15.

It's very risky to compare values <15 because they are noisy, but what was your gliadin IgA after one month of consuming gluten? If the trend is increasing I might continue the challenge if I wasn't too sick.

Right. Those are the tests from one month ago...I got retested today/referred to a gastroenterologist about a biopsy. So I should find out my new levels by the end of this week.

I've also been referred to a rheumatologist to try and figure out what else is wrong. I have a ton of other issues that are not resolved by gluten free living.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
