Positive deamidated gliadin iga but negative everything else..???

Why would I be positive to deamidated gliadin iga but my ttg iga and ttg igg and deamidated gliadin igg r below the normal range. 

All are meant to be less than 15 u/mg and I am 17.

I'm confused cause my gastro Dr is fairly arrogant and doesn't think it's necessary to do any more investigation. I have ferreting below 30 so have iron infusion every couple years. And very fatigue and often constipated and bloated.  

Am I being silly?

It would be great if you can share your results here, including the reference ranges, as each lab is different. From what you've described, you have a positive blood test for celiac disease, and this could explain your low iron issue. It only takes one positive test to be diagnosed, but the normal procedure would be to schedule an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis (and you would need to keep eating gluten until that test was finished).

sorry i should have attached earlier. No. 1 was 6 weeks ago and no. 2 was last week. its only just above the range. Have been doing a gluten challenge in the last 6 weeks.

Can you get a second opinion from another gastroenterologist?  Your second test is also positive on deamidated Gliadin IgG, so two positives.

Some people with celiac disease are positive on all four tests (me), some are only positive on one.

      Thanks @trents We are still working on accepting that he has to be gluten free all his life. And this reality is also hitting him badly.  As this was only the serum based results and biopsy hasn't been done yet, are there any slim chances that he might NOT have Celiac disease? I've messaged his doctor to confirm one more time if he should go gluten free now or wait until he sees specialist. Thanks.

      My daughter,17 was getting stomach pains off and on for months. Went to pediatrician, bloodwork came back showing TTG-IGA 5.3 weak positive. Told to follow up with gastroenterology, continue to eat gluten. Can’t get appoint until end of Jan (we are on waitlist also), called back because she was still getting pains and nurse said to let her try to go gluten free for a few weeks and see if she feels better. She does feel better. My question is should I let her stay gluten free until the end of January and see what the Gastro says? I know she will have to be eating gluten before she has any further testing, but that is likely months away at this point.

      Many years ago, there was a doctor who recommended never eating the same food within 5 days. Also recommended greens only 2X per week. Can't remember his name. Dx Celiac at age 87 by self as where I live in the northwest of Idaho, there is no medical insurance which covers Celiac disease or even will pay for tests!

      I am so scared of going to my doctor because she didn’t give me any information on my condition just saying remove gluten. I have a number of things that relate to coeliac disease but the doctor never picked up on it years ago when I was questioning my health.
