Good morning!

Seeing my primary care doctor this morning and going over my full Celiac panel. Any questions I should be prepared to ask? Any numbers or values I should be wary of? I also had an endoscopy earlier this week and I'm waiting to hear back from my GI doc.

Just wait and see. Only thing is I would be weary of is if they ordered the right tests and if your TTG is "weak positive" they'll not realize that there is no such thing as a weak positive TTG. It's either positive or not. If it's positive you pretty likely have Celiac and should be confirmed with an EGD (sounds like you had that too).

If you already had the EGD you're in a good spot because very few celiacs show up as negative on the EGD as long as you were eating gluten regularly for a couple of months before.

      thank you for the insight  Thank a small elevation can be due to this or is it more likely to be cross contamination ?

      It could be. Think I'll just have to avoid that cereal. Thank for suggestion..

      Blood Tests showed positive for celiac / Endoscopy confirmed no evidence of Celiac

      "Similar proteins to the gliadin found in wheat exist as secalin in rye, hordein in barley, and avenins in oats, and are collectively referred to as 'gluten'. The gluten found in all of these grains has been identified as the component capable of triggering the immune-mediated disorder, celiac disease." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28244676/   "However, it is necessary to consider that oats include many varieties, containing various amino acid sequences and showing different immunoreactivities associated with toxic prolamins. As a result, several studies have shown that the immunogenicity of oats varies depending on the cultivar consumed." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26557006/   "In 2007, a study showed that all the varieties of oats tested were immunogenic, with Lampton and Ava avenins inducing lymphocyte activation similar to that activated by wheat gliadin, while Astra and Nave avenins showed less immunogenicity, but still with a measurable effect.6 In 2011, a study showed that there is a wide range of variation of potential immunotoxicity of oat cultivars. It concluded some oat strains are more toxic than others." https://glutenfreeworks.com/blog/2011/06/20/why-oats-should-be-excluded-from-the-gluten-free-diet/   Silano M, Benedetto RD, Maialetti F, et al. Avenins from different cultivars of oats elicit response by coeliac peripheral lymphocytes. Scand J Gastroenterol 2007 Jun 8;:1-4 Comino I, Real A, Lorenzo L, et al.

      I have read research indicating differing reactions to various oat cultivars, however, nothing suggesting that some contain gluten - do you have a source for that?

      IGA and TTG IGA Levels

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      For those of you who have had celiac for a long time what do your IGA and TTG IGA Levels usually show on follow up blood work ?
