Hi Anniebeth, I have the exact same thing. I had a spotty, weird, cracked tongue all my life and one doctor, many years ago (before I knew anything about celiac) told me it had to do with allergies but the docs only talked about airborne allergies at that time, so that's what I thought it was. I pretty much ignored it. It wasn't until a few months...

I got to talk to the doctor today. He was really pretty good. Didn't get hung up about the IGG at all. Just looked at the IgA, said it's definitely positive. Kind of on the low positive side, but said that's probably because I had given up gluten for 5 months before, and then did a 6 wk challenge. The 6 wks might not be long enough for it to get really high...

Ah, that makes sense. One would want an official diagnosis in that case. Here, in the US, I"m not sure what the benefit would be. I recently had a colonoscopy up into the small intestine, which was clear. I'm thinking that I could do the DNA test and see if that corresponds with the transglutiminase tests I've already had. For my purposes, that might be good...

I had drastically cut down on eating gluten for about 4 months (I'm a beginner so I'm sure there were some slip ups in there). Then went to the doctor and she told me I'd have to eat gluten again for 6 weeks, so I did that. I read, and now I can't remember where (but I'm looking and I'll provide the URL if I find it again), that the IgG responds much more...

Hi, I'm new here. Been lurking for awhile trying to figure it all out, and I finally got tested and got my test results. Unfortunately, between the time my doctor ordered the test and the 6 week gluten challenge (I had already been happily eating gluten-free for 6 mths because I had discovered it made me feel better), she went on maternity leave. So now...
