Hi all- this is brand new to us.. son with learning delays and we are searching for clues.. got his bloodwork back as: negative for HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 which I guess 97% of folks wiht celiac have one or the other. However his Gliadin IgA Antibodies were high (6.7) as well as Gliadin IgG Antibodies (16.6). We've been referred to a GI doc and have started gluten-free diet but am curious if anyone else has run into this. Also, if you have suggestions on what other tests to run. Looking at Enterolab stool test- but wondering if we need the full panel or can just go with the gene sensitivity stool test.
