Great questions! Elevated DGP-IgA is most commonly linked to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), but other factors could play a role. Other autoimmune conditions, intestinal permeability (leaky gut), or even food sensitivities (e.g., dairy or FODMAPs) could also contribute to similar symptoms or test results. Fluctuating iron levels are...

HLA DQ8 Positive - This means you have the genes to get celiac disease, which ~40% of people have as well, although only ~1% develop the disease. GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA) 96.8 HIGH <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected Since your biopsy was negative (you're correct that at least 6 samples should have been taken)...

It is very doubtful that prescriptions medications would be cross-contaminated. It's not impossible, but most companies make many different medications and have very strict protocols for their manufacture.

I would not say that milk is bad for you, but for those who have lactose intolerance, milk allergy, etc., it's best avoided. -
Eating porridge
Scott Adams replied to Lynda scott's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
You seem to be confused about what is gluten-free and what isn't. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.): -
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"...

Difficulty with doctors
Scott Adams replied to jkinloch's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I agree with @trents, bad advice! This doctor should know that you've been following the treatment for celiac disease, a gluten-free diet, which typically puts the disease into remission unless you start eating gluten again. Stay gluten-free because celiac disease, unfortunately, is a lifelong disease. You may want to educate your new doctor on this! -
Corn protein (zein) is considered safe for those with celiac disease, however, some people may have a separate food intolerance to it. 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...

It’s great that you’re being so cautious about gluten exposure, especially since you’re asymptomatic and rely on diligence to stay safe. Regarding your mom’s gluten-free dough preparation, there is a risk of cross-contact if gluten-containing flour was used in the same area, even if surfaces and hands were washed. Airborne gluten flour can settle on unco...

It sounds like you’ve been through a lot since your celiac diagnosis, and it’s great that you’re paying close attention to your health and lab results. Regarding your folate levels, it’s interesting that they’ve jumped from 4 ng/mL to >24 ng/mL. Since you mentioned you only took supplements for a short time, it’s possible that your diet changes sin...

Scott Adams replied to James47's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
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. Alcohol can certainly irritate an inflamed, damaged gut. Some common food intolerance... -
Testing
Scott Adams replied to Deborah123's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The past symptoms you posted in the thread below are definitely worrisome, and could be celiac disease symptoms. I agree that a full blood panel needs to be done. 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... -
Hard Rock Cafe Customer Feels Mocked Over Celiac Disease
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Even if the customer did have celiac disease, the way that they come across in this video is completely rude, and mean, which will make it harder for any subsequent celiacs who happen to visit this establishment in the future.- 4 comments

Can anyone offer any advice/help please!
Scott Adams replied to Sammy Web's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Do you mean your tTg-IgA levels? Do you happen to have the reference range for a positive test if that is the case? -
Can anyone offer any advice/help please!
Scott Adams replied to Sammy Web's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It's possible celiac disease has been ruled out, but that depends on whether you followed the proper protocol of eating tons of gluten for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy. If you were eating minimal gluten during that time your results could be false-negative. If they did the endoscopy for celiac disease you should have received results--feel free to... -
Can anyone offer any advice/help please!
Scott Adams replied to Sammy Web's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It sounds like you’ve been through quite a journey with your digestive health, and it’s great that you’ve been able to identify some triggers and make adjustments that have helped. Based on what you’ve described, it’s possible that gluten could still be playing a role in your symptoms, even if celiac disease has been ruled out. Non-celiac gluten sensitivi... -

New diagnosis for 3 year old. Help!
Scott Adams replied to lizzie42's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
To me it seems like a slam dunk diagnosis, and the actual confirmation should be recovery on a gluten-free diet. If her symptoms improve on the diet, it would be final confirmation that she has celiac disease--and likely DH as well. -
It is shocking that you were apparently not informed about this positive celiac disease test. In the Europe the protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test...
