Positive IgA (slight), negative IgG?

Hi all,

I just wondered if anyone can help shed light on my TTG blood results or if anyone has had similar. 

My IgA was positive - level 13 (normal range 0-7) and my IgG was negative. 

Anyone know what it means when you have a positive IgA and negative IgG?

And also while the IgA is positive, it's pretty low? I've seen people with positive results talk about levels in the hundreds - so why could someone have a raised level only just above the normal?

Thanks in advance

If the Ttg was the only tests run it might be a good idea to also have the DGP tests. However, even one positive means you should be getting an endoscopy. After that is done you should go gluten free no matter the results. Positive blood trumps negative biopsy because damage can be patchy and can get missed. Do not go gluten free until after the endo. While you wait do read the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section and ask any other questions you need to ask.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.

      We have had numbers of others on this forum report pain in that same area. Have you been checked for an H. Pylori infection? This is something very common in the celiac population.

      Hi! Yes I have, endoscopy didn’t show anything other than celiacs. I’ve been wondering if it’s possibly that my intestines are so damaged that the wine is irritating because they have not fully healed. Very odd, I felt better for a few weeks and then all the sudden started noticing the pain again after the weekends when I drink wine (don’t drink during the week). I’ve also heard that dull left side pain isn’t a common symptom with celiacs so my diagnosis was surprising to doctor as well though the pain did initially subside with gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the forum, @Celiacsugh! Have you been checked for a gastric or peptic ulcer?
