Visit to pediatrician two weeks ago (for 11 year old son) with the following Serology results: IgA - 62 (64-246 range) IgG - 61 (below 11 normal) ttG - <3 (below 3 normal) pediatrician sent him to a pediatric GI specialist he reviewed the above results and said that it was probably a false positive because of the ttg score. He wanted to run the IgA...

504 plan is the way to go. Speak to the teacher about it. If the teacher seems a little unclear, call the director of special education for the district. You will have meetings just like an IEP. My district has already been very supportive (Federal funds can be pulled if they don't comply.) The 504 plan will help you not have to explain every single...

Maybe he's full of crap and being ignorant. On a positive note, maybe he just didn't want us to get to alarmed yet- so that's why he said the grain thing???? I don't know. I have read some other post that says that an elevated IgG is sometimes something else. Any ideas?

The GI acted like the IgG elevation wasn't anything if the other two areas weren't positive also. If he doesn't have celiac than I want to know why the levels were so high..... I guess I will have to wait and see what happens on Monday when I get the IgA deficiency results back. I don't mind the doctor wanting to know more, but I feel like I know less than...

O.k, this is the best that I know: IgA - 64 with range of 65 to 246 IgG - 67 range of 1 to 11 normal TtG - 3 normal range 3 and below Does this help?

I called the pediatrician to get a list of actual scores - Here they are: IgA - 64 Gliadian IgG - 67 TtG - 3 No biopsy has been scheduled. More blood test were ordered in order to check for IgA deficiency. Does the above mentioned scores mean anything to anyone? The doctor is calling it a false positive.

My 11 year old son seen the GI specialist yesterday. The GI said that he believed the blood test was a false positive. He had a score of 67(?). The 67 was high but the other two test were normal. The GI is now running a test for IgA only. What does this mean? If it's not celiac what is it? I was hoping that the celiac diagnosis was going to be our...

Thank you for the information. I am actually excited about the diet thinking that it will benefit my whole family. I am just worried because I am a mom and this is very serious to me and not so serious with my husband (yet, he'll get there eventually). I live in a very rural area and nobody has ever heard of celiac, so resources are slim. I am a teacher...

My 11 year old son seen his pediatrician for his sixth grade physical. He was born with Hirschsprung's disease and has always had "intestinal issues". We always assumed it was the Hirschsprung's disease. At the appointment for his physical the Pediatrician recommended testing for thyroid and celiac because of his short stature (5th percentile). The lab...
