Opinions On Blood Test Results

Hello!

I recently went in for blood work and all was normal except for tTG IGA, the numbers are below. I am scheduled for an endoscopy on Wednesday but am hoping for some insight before then. I am a terrible waiter and not knowing is a killer.

tTG IGA: 133 (0-19 normal)

IGA: 168 (70-400 normal)

Your thoughts are appreciated!

Welcome to the board! tTG IgA is a test for a kind of autoimmunity that's almost always caused by celiac and yours is quite high. Be sure to give the gluten-free diet a good strict try no matter what the endoscopy results are. Sometimes the celiac damage gets missed because it can be patchy. If you've had a lot of stomach trouble you should feel loads better!

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
