I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying. He has an elevated (even more after gluten free diet) ttg-igG , which is causing us to be even more confused. I also mentioned that his total IGA is low, making the iga based test unreliable. Were you referring to the low iga? Thanks everyone! -

I have asked for help on here before, and have since went to another GI (much more knowledgeable and thorough) for a second opinion. I was under a different username before but something happened with my email and I could not figure out how to get back in. Anyways, I feel like we will never get an answer.
