Thought I would post this. I just got it today. Eating out is always risky. Not sure I will bother going. I cannot imagine having mexican food without chips and warm tortias.

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      Welcome to the forum, @Kipman! When you say your Iga is low I assume you are referring to total IGA. Can you confirm this? If so, the antibody test score for the transglutaminase iga (what we generally refer to as tTG-IGA) test score cannot be trusted. Low total IGA (i.e., being "IGA deficient) will drive down the scores in the tTG-IGA test and can cause...

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      Hi there😊, I've had the celiac serology bloods done 3 times. Everytime the Iga is low but the transglutaminase iga is 'indeterminate'. Has anyone else had this? And does anyone know why it's happening? Google is confusing. Thank you!

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kipman! When you say your Iga is low I assume you are referring to total IGA. Can you confirm this? If so, the antibody test score for the transglutaminase iga (what we generally refer to as tTG-IGA) test score cannot be trusted. Low total IGA (i.e., being "IGA deficient) will drive down the scores in the tTG-IGA test and can cause false negatives. Ask your physician to run a more complete celiac antibody panel which would include the DGP-IGA test as well as the DGP-IGG and TTG-IGG tests as well as the total IGA and the tTG-IGA. You must not be engaging in the gluten free diet until all testing is completed, both the serum antibody testing and the endoscopy/biopsy, if the phyiscian should refer you for a GI doc consult who may want to do that procedure. Being on a gluten free diet or a reduced gluten diet will sabotage any testing. Here is an article presenting an overview of the various tests that can be run when checking for celiac disease: From the above article:  IgA Levels/Deficiency Blood Test This should always be included in any blood panel for celiac disease, but it does not test directly for celiac disease, and is done to determine the accuracy of the other blood tests. People who are IgA deficient may score lower, of have no measurable levels on certain celiac disease blood tests. This test measures the levels of Immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the bloodstream. IgA is an important antibody that plays a significant role in the immune system, particularly in protecting the body's mucosal surfaces (e.g., respiratory and digestive tracts). Low IgA levels can indicate IgA deficiency, a condition where the body does not produce enough IgA, leading to an increased risk of infections and other health issues. The IgA Levels/Deficiency Test helps healthcare providers diagnose and monitor IgA-related conditions. Other Names for the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Test Total IgA Test Serum IgA Test IgA Serum Levels Test IgA Blood Test IgA Quantitative Test IgA Antibody Test IgA Immunodeficiency Test
