Negative Dgp Igg And Negative Dgp Iga


MoMof2Boyz

Recommended Posts

had ds retested a few months ago, GI doc refused to do IgG versions(TtG IgG and EMA IgG) because #1 DGP IgG is negative

#2 celiac gene test came back extremely low risk

my question: since he has a low total serum IgA, should I go ahead and ask his pediatrician for IgG versions? or does his GI doc know what he's talking about? Does a negative DGP IgG and negaive DGP Iga definitley mean no celiac?

MoMof2Boyz, I would keep pushing until you get all the tests if not an endoscopy (I assume there's a reason they are testing). There are many others that know much better about these tests but I happen to have been reading up about DBP IGA because that's the only test my son tested positive on (and he's "low risk" genetically, exactly as low risk as I am, with full celiac on all blood work and strong symptoms). Anyway, the DGP tests are great because they are highly SPECIFIC but not highly SENSITIVE. It's really important to know the difference because many doctors don't. With the DGP IGA, only 80% of celiacs will test positive, it's not very sensitive, but 96.5% or so who do test positive do have celiac, unlike TTG IGA which has lots of false positives, relatively.

My son's GI does not think he has it despite a highly specific test, my dx and every symptom in the book. But I'm pushing forward and waiting to get into a celiac specialist. I think you should at least get all the tests done, if not an endo.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.

      I was diagnosed at 18 months old with celiac and lived without wheat, rye, oats, and barley as instructed by my doctor, Dr. Katz at Boston Children's Hospital in the 60's and 70's. I don't agree nor recommend doctors removing oats from restriction, certified gluten-free or not.  I have eaten certified gluten free oats and have had the usual reactions to gluten.  Please reconsider this with newly diagnosed patients.

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.
