ARCHIVED Conflicting Test Results - Drs. Say It's Not Celiac
jenlex replied to earthmama2k's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms

I like my doctor, but I do not feel that she is up to date with the most current research. My son recently (Jan.) tested + TTA IgA 25.5.

Help me understand this... My son was recently diagnosed with celiac. Prior to his diagnosis, I had never even heard of it before. I have been trying to track down the genetic origin in my family and have thus had genetic testing done. I have been tested positive for DQ2 and DQ8, but have had a negative antibody test result. If I understand this correctly...
