- trents replied to Toaster's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms1What might this EMA result mean?
Welcome to the forum, @Toaster! EMA is a celiac disease specific antibody test. It was one of the first antibody tests developed for celiac disease but it has fallen out of favor in recent years. It is an excellent test but expensive to administer as it requires the use of animal organ tissue (esophagus I think) in order to be run. Since then, a less... -

Ok, sorry...do you eat oats? Around 10% of celiacs react to oats, even certified gluten-free oats. You may want to cut out oats and dairy/casein for a while to see if this helps.

Welcome to the forum, @Toaster! EMA is a celiac disease specific antibody test. It was one of the first antibody tests developed for celiac disease but it has fallen out of favor in recent years. It is an excellent test but expensive to administer as it requires the use of animal organ tissue (esophagus I think) in order to be run.

Your test result of 1.24 g/L is meaningless unless you can also supply the reference range values used by the lab. Different labs use different reference ranges for negative vs. positive. There is no standard. The EMA test is discussed in this article along with other celiac disease antibody tests:
