My daughter had a celiac panel done in 2010. I was told the results were neg. so we left it at that. She has been having API s again so I had them run another panel, new doctor. I don't have the new results back yet but here are the ones from 2010. Can you tell me what you think?

Gliadin Antibody IgA - H 83 normal high Less 20

Gliadin Antibody IgG - 19 normal,high less 20

Tissue Trans AB IgA - H 28 normal high less 20

Tissue Trans AB IgG - 18 normal high less 20

And yes I did bring these results to the new doctor -though her doctor was more consernd about the urinalysis report so she focused on that. They are supposed to be calling me,with an appointment for a GI referral today Also

I had my son tested in 2010, all his results were less than 20 excepts for the Gliadin Antibody IgA which was 27. I will be bring him back to have him rested. He has been having increased stomach pains for the past month. My son also was dx with leukemia at the age of 21, received chemotherapy for 3 years, is now cancer free. My youngest daughter also had leukemia, dx at the age of 3 1/2 , passed away 2007 at the age of 11 due to complication from the bone marrow transplant. My oldest daughter has had a few stomach issues, nothing too bad, will also have her tested. All my labs were normal. We have suspected celiac or crohns with my husband though he has never been tested

The panel was ran on Friday afternoon, I'm not sure how long it takes for results. I will be calling when they open this morning. .

H. Pylori AB Negative

My daughter is also having some kidney issues the last few weeks, currently waiting on repeating an urinalysis. I won't list those labs unless someone here knows something about those results. From the searching I've done this weekend I found that celiac can be linked to kidney disease?

Thank you!

Uhm those results are not negative, two are clearly flagged as "H" for high. Can you post the reference range of the tests? I am assuming the tests are the standard negative under 20, your IgA specific antibody reaction to gluten is high positive, and the tissue transglutaminase is also positive showing there is damage in the intestine. Put that together and you have a damaged intestine due to a negative reaction to gluten. I bet your new results will be much higher, hopefully they tested the deamidated versions this time, let us know the results.

I am just throwing this out there but because those results were obviously positive (especially the gliadin IgA) and your doctor never reported that to you, upon your daughter actually being diagnosed, you could have a malpractice law suit in your hands. Especially if you can link further complications due to being misdiagnosed.

Can you give us the range of the tests? What is considered normal, and whatnot? All labs are a bit different.

Have you brought those test results to her new doctor? Do bring those to that doctors attention. She should have been diagnosed when the tests you posted were run. Yes celiac can impact kidney function (and many other organs) but once she goes gluten free her kidney function can return to normal. I hope you are able to get her diagnosed quickly and do test every other family member as well.

I added the normal range above. I'm not sure if they added the "deamidated" version, not sure what that is?

The deamidated version is more specific to celiac, the older anti-gliadin tests are not very accurate, especially the IgG version. However the IgA is still sensitive to celiac which is what came back high positive.

These tests would be necessary for a more accurate diagnosis:

Deamidated gliadin IgA

Deamidated gliadin IgG

Endomysial Ab

As I said before, your daughters results were strong positive in reaction to gluten and positive to the gut damage test, you are going to need to run the three tests I just posted as well as possibly an endoscopy if it is necessary.

I got the results of my daughters cp panel. I don't have a copy of them yet, nurse said it was negative. She read a few values off to me, the ttIgA was less than 2 , Gliadin IgA was 5 last time was 83. Now she was on flagly and serious for 1 day- would that effect the results at all ?? I'm happy if those are the true results but the results are way different than the ones taken in 2010, something doesn't seem right?

Sorry that should have said steriods not serious, she had 30 mg of steriods in her system and took 2 doses of flagyl , each tablet 500 mg, the day before the blood draw. The little searching I did does show that steriods can show a false neg, but would 30 mg be enough to mess up the results?

Just got off phone with nurse, they have schechduled an appoint for next week with a GI doctor. I did call that doctor and ask about the steriod issues, they want the labs drawn again so I will have that done next monday and hopefully have the results by Thursday. Does anyone see a GI doctor at st Louis children's ?

Steroids in prolonged use can effect the results, I doubt that one time before would but I can't be sure on that. Flagyl would not cause false negatives, if anything it would cause false positives since it is notoriously hard on the small intestine.

I am at a loss at this point, I am not sure what to make of results being so high than dropping, perhaps your daughter is an example of how inaccurate Gliadin AB's are. If your daughter had celiac and was eating gluten there is no reason for the antibodies to drop like that, active disease simply does not do that.

My only suggestion would be to retest using the methods I posted above as well as being off steroids for a week. Also did she get tested for IgA sufficiency? What led you guys to celiac to begin with?

In 2010 she was having constant bad stomach pains, missing lots of school. My husband has had horrible stomach problems all his life. we're always assumed that he had colitis. He has never been tested for it though, stubborn. So they tested her knowing my husband has some thing going on. She has been eating gluten all this time. I don't know what to think with those results. She will be retested next week. So I guess I'll just have to wait and see. thank you for your help.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
