My GI tested me for celiac and the results have been trickling in (I am able to access them online). The first round of blood work came in and he sent me back for more.  Here are the results of both, and I'd appreciate any input (first number is the range, last number is my result). 

 

TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB IGA <4 U/mL

<1

GLIADIN/GLUTEN IGA AB <20 units 5 IMMUNOGLOBULIN A 81 - 463 mg/dL 58 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY IGG <6 U/mL 4 GLIADIN/GLUTEN IGG AB <20 units 4 IMMUNOGLOBULIN M 48 - 271 mg/dL 33 IMMUNOGLOBULIN G 694 - 1618 mg/dL 589

 

I will be following up with my doctor, but wanted to glean some information in the meantime.Thanks in advance, googling these the past couple of days has made my head spin.

The Immunoglobulin A and G tests are done to be sure you have enough IgA or IgG for the celiac antibody tests to be accurate. You seem to be deficient in both which means your celiac antibody tests that are in normal range could be incorrect.

This does not mean you have celiac disease - just that more investigation is needed.

I know it is very frustrating, but your next step is to speak with your doctor.

Don't remove gluten from your diet until you are certain testing is complete.

Hang in there...if anxious try to see if your appt can be moved up....Dr. google can be very helpful but not when you are unclear on what to research.

Your tTG and AGA tests look negative. Was that Anti-gliadin Antibody tests (AGA IgA and AGA IgG) or the deaminated gliadin peptides (DGP IgA and DGP IgG) tests that were run?  The DGP tests are newer and considered very good... the AGA tests, well... not so much.

 

This report has some good info on testing on pages 10-12: Open Original Shared Link

 

Good luck! I know the waiting is horrible... try not to go too crazy. ;)

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
