tTg-IgA and DGP-IgG negative, is it worth waiting for anti-Gliadin IgA/IgG?

[Ippodrom234]

Hi! Male, 31.

Health issues: constipation, sluggish digestion in general, greasy stools, bloating, fatigue, brain fog, dry skin. Low thyroid hormones free t3/T4 with normal TSH.

I've seen numerous Drs, none has ordered a celiac test panel, so decided to test one myself. Have been on a heavy gluten diet for at least 4 months. 

The results so far are all normal and not suggestive of Celiac disease in the slightest:

Total IgA - 1.79 (range 0.63 — 4.84)

tTg-IgA <1.00 (range <10.00)

DGP-IgG 1.2 (range <10.0).

I also had blood drawn for anti-Gliadin IgA/IgG (not deamidated this time), the results should be available tomorrow.

I know the latter are old tests and now considered unreliable but I want to make sure I don't have Celiac and If I do - well, that would at least explain many of the symptoms. I want to see if I have autoimmunity, not NSGS.

All in all, do you think that with the results I have after eating lots of gluten for several months I can consider myself non-Celiac? Of course, I will consult a doctor if needed, but they seem to be more concerned with treating symptoms, not the cause.

Thanks!

Sounds like you may not have celiac disease since the antibody tests so far don't indicate villi damage in the small bowel. But I would look at NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) if I were you. The antidote is the same. Total abstinence from gluten for life. The next step would be to commit to a gluten free diet and see if your symptoms improve.
