Second daughter got blood test with outrageously high Transglutaminase igA 734 and she is not symptomatic.    Anyone know what the average range is for those with celiac disease?    Our other daugher was 99 and symptomatic.  Wondering if this is a lab error.   Don't think this is physiologically possible.   Thanks.  Mayumi

Was it a different lab?  A lot of labs just stop "counting" at 100.  Mine just said ">100".  

 

She probably has symptoms, you just don't realize they are from Celiac.

I know different labs have different numbers. For instance our local lab I think stops at 250.  That’s what by son’s number was when he was first tested. When tested a second time at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto he was in the 700’s. it’s a bit more complicated than that I think. The analogy they used with me is like a pregnancy blood test.  Some people have low numbers  and others really high. Bottom line they are both preganant. Hope that makes sense!

My diagnosis was shocking as I had no gastrointestinal symptoms at all!  There are over 200 symptoms attributed to celiac disease.  Some are even hidden.  Two months after my diagnosis I fractured my back doing nothing.  Unknown to everyone,  I had osteoporosis.  ?

      Oats gluten free?

      By PA Painter · Posted

      I've had the testing up to the biopsy. Once they confirm the intestine is not affected they cease pursuing further diagnosis, regardless of extra intestinal symptoms. They refuse to pursue anything non celiac.  I react to: banana, avacado, fresh cabbage, yogurt, pecans, walnuts, xantham gum, and obviously wheat, barley, etc. Even so called "gluten free" food cause a violent reaction. Believe it or not. I can eat 3 Tostitos any more than that ruins my next three days. I did have one of the genes for potential autoimmune problems but they said it could mean anything. The most I get in the stomach is acid reflux and hot snakes. My intestinal symptoms are minimal. I think the pathology is different in way yet similar in others.

      Hi,  Just to add to the possible cross reaction or contamination sources- look into how you are reacting to the milk protein casein, or course avenin in oats, quinoa protein, and also possible gluten contamination in cooking oils.  I care for my six year old daughter with Celiac, and it’s only after removing all oils from her diet has she felt better. Not even Certified ones were okay. I don’t know why is that, but it is so. I cook in animal fat whenever recipe calls for some oil. Nuts and avocado are the source of fat in her dieT otherwise.

      Have you had a DNA test to look for the most commonly occurring Celiac genes?   There's some scientific evidence that Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a precursor to Celiac Disease in genetically predisposed people. Which foods do you react to?  How do you react?

      Recent blood test results check in - TTG- IGA

      You are right, I just feel I may have not been on top of it and Ive caused damage for years without knowing. Seems like nothing though?

      No, one crumb from a month before the blood test would not materially affect the results of the test. I sense you are devoting a lot more "worry energy" to this than it deserves. That will do you more harm than a tick over normal on the TTG-IGA score.
