Several months ago my GI did a somewhat incomplete celiac panel, which was negative. I plan to pursue a more complete panel with them as soon as insurance allows. I have had strong suspicions for a while now. I decided to go ahead and give enterolab a whirl, just to see. I only ordered one test. Here are my results Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 198 Units ...

I'm no doctor but a quick consult with Dr. G(oogle) indicates that these results might be associated with an inflammatory bowel disease...ulcerative colitis or crohns. Good luck with everything and I hope you get answers and relief.

Thanks for your response. I'm glad that gluten free helped our son. You are right, I don't need a diagnosis to go down this path and I'm going to give it a shot regardless. Can't hurt

I've made a couple of posts here with specific questions about testing, I thought I would take a minute to tell the whole story here, if for no other reason than to vent.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad your GI was willing to do the scope anyway.

Appreciate your input! I am going to ask for a larger panel at follow up.

Anyone reading this have the experience of having negative IGA but positive IGG? Thinking about requesting the IGG....I am wishing that I had been more educated several months ago when I had an endoscopic ultrasound done, maybe I could have asked them to snag a biopsy while they were in there anyway.

Thanks so much for the response and the links. Very helpful.

Hello all. I am learning so much from reading the boards already. I'm honestly a little overloaded with information. I'm slowly trying to understand what all the tests are and what they mean. I'd like to post the results of the tests I've had, which are negative according to my doctor. Please, share your opinions and suggestions about tests that may have...
