Gliadin iga

Hi. I just had extensive blood work done by naturopath which revealed positive gliadin deamidated IGA antibody, but all other blood work was normal (liver, thyroid, vitamin and iron levels, lipids, gliadin IGG, c reactive protein, etc). Does the positive gliadin iga antibody in itself mean I have celiac? I have no symptoms. I meet with him Monday.

It sounds like they did a legit medical test for Celiac.  But sometimes they do other tests, so I can’t be certain.  It depends on how high it is.  Sometimes a slight positive is caused by some other medical issue.

It was 65 ?

I had a positive only on the DGP IgA only and I have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease. You should see a Gastroenterologist if possible.  That is the normal course of action after a positive on the celiac blood test panel.   Note that you can be symptom free and still have celiac disease.

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.

      Good to know, here is their website: https://polly-o.com/

      No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      I'm not sure the article would be misleading, as it offers many different avenues to pursue for those with ongoing symptoms. The recommendation to keep a food diary and remove common food intolerance triggers would be a good way to discover issues with casein/milk, especially if you added that back to your diet after a couple of months and your symptoms returned. Many additional food intolerance issues can be permanent in some people.

      Thank you for this! "Medical" advice, and I use the term loosely, is so rampant and so unproven nowadays (I even have relatives that fall down these rabbit holes and are shocked I don't follow.), so I am skeptical of everything. I appreciate the confirmation of my suspicions that this was more hearsay. Onward with my rice and corn. lol
