Negative Blood Tests

[cowgirl]

I was suppose to be tested for the Celiac gene test.

However, they did the celiac disease blood test instead.

I have been gluten-free for just under 3 months now.

Had severe GI symptoms before going gluten-free, also had mal-rotated

intestines that were corrected in March.

After surgery, symptoms improved but were still there just not as bad.

I went gluten-free hoping to find relief. Have had wonderful improvement on

gluten free diet!!

My blood test results reads as follows:

Endomysial Ab, IgA screen had NONE DETECTED

Gliadin Antibody IgG was 0.9 (0.0-29.9 being negative)

Gliadin Antibody IgA was 20.5 (0.0-29.9 being negative)

Reticulin IgA antibody, IFA was <1:5 (<1:5 being antibody not detected)

(don't know what it was just says <1:5)

Now to my question ... it seams to me that the IgA although negitive

is still awful high at 20.5 compared to the IgG being only 0.9.

I knew that being on the gluten-free diet would make the blood tests not accurate,

thats why we ordered the gene test. But, since I have these results I am

now curious with the negative but fairly high IgA reading.

Could that in itself indicate possible Celiac?

Does Anybody have any idea?

Thanks to all who post here, don't know what I would have done the last

few months without this forum.

Any response would be appreciated.
