So Confused

I just got my test results back and I might as well be reading Japanese, because I do not understand them. Anyways, what is IgA Ser Qn and does anyone know what the normal range is for that?

If you get a copy of the results it should say the ranges beside them and then what your level was.

Which tests were done? Do you know? The one test you were asking about IgA ser looks like the total serum IgA...that should not have been the only one done so hopefully they did more.

There are 5 that should be done:

Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA

Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG

Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA

Anti-TissueTransglutaminase (tTG) IgA

Total Serum IgA

It looks like Gliadin IgA was 6.6 and the IgG was 1.5 And the IgA Ser Qn was 15.2

What are the reference ranges on the sheet? Also, it looks like the most specific tests (tTG &EMA) were not done.

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      It's strange to see two very different results in what appears to be a single blood test--one is positive and one is negative for a celiac disease test. Are these results separated by time? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
