Thanks for your replies. Will try to get the "IgA anti-calreticulin (CRT) antibodies" test done. That could be helpful in diagnosing RCD. thanks again.

Thanks Kayo for your both replies. I am in touch with a pulmonologist for my Asthma besides gatro for celiac. However, none of them working as a team. As per your advice and my complications of increasing ttg level despite strict control on diet, I will give it a try by consulting immunologist. He may try things which other docs may have missed. However,...

Thanks for your reply. I am also wondering that i may be suffering from other autoimmune disease along with celiac. Rheumatoid Arthritis is negative, but TSH is high at 5.1 (but Thyroid antibodie is negative, T3 and T4 are normal)..Have checked for gluten content in toothpaste, shampoo and lip guard. I dont buy any thing other than rice, pulses and spices...

Hi, I have been on gluten free diet for last 2 yrs and my ttg IgA is just increasing...there is improvement in terms of symptoms like wt gain but i have also got high TSH (normal T3 and T4 as of now)...No RA, Diabetics...so I am still wondering wat is causing rise in ttg...have also started a new threat for d same and have mentioned detailed blood work.....

Hi All, I have been on gluten free diet (GFD) for last 2 yrs; but my ttg Antibody IgA count shows a continuous rise.. my TTG-IgA level has increased from 180 (2 years back) to around 300 now, when the lab normal is less than 20..though i gained around 5-6 kilograms (kgs) during in first 1.5 yrs, wt has decreased somewhat in last six months..(however ttg level...

Consulted another Gastro.. He says ttg is high in many cases, which I am not sure about..As per him, TSH is marginally high so not an issue....also he could not explain why ttg is rising when i m at strict gluten free diet. He ran me through a councelling with dietician which also was fruitless as anyway i have restricted my diet to rice, pulses, spices,...

Thanks a ton for addressing my questions. Around one month back, my thyroid doc had said that i have the option to start treating the thyroid or wait..as per her, 5 was marginally high...but will factor in your advice and try to address this sooner than later. Ya, i suffer from symptoms like 3 times motion a day, leg pain (especially calf muscle) and intermittent...

Thanks for your reply. My anti-thyroid antibodies are normal (with ANTI-THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES of 39.2 when less than 60 is negative). However, TSH level is high at 5.10 when normal range is 0.27 - 4.10. T3 and T4 are normal. When anti-thyroid antibodies are normal, can high TSH level be the reason of high ttg-iga level ? It would be nice if one...

Thanks for your reply. I am taking oral supplements of Vitamind D3, Calcium and Folic Acid and injections of B12.
