Can someone explain this? My daughter has been off gluten since May (ttg was 129) and last week her result from the ttg iga test was at 159. Dr will be calling but just received the results and am anxious to understand. She’s been doing fantastic since about a week after stopping gluten. No mishaps and daycare has been amazing with taking all precautions. Could this be wrong?

She had gotten super sick, lethargic and was actually hospitalized in May.
This is how we found out she had celiac disease. They did all the tests to see what was wrong..So since that day she went gluten free, and had a complete turnaround (within a week). She has been amazing, thriving, growing great and there have been no known mishaps since. We know you can be a silent celiac but since she got so sick from the original diagnosis we don’t understand how she could still be exposed to gluten without any response. We are so confused. Also. We are a gluten free household and use gl products like lotion and toothpaste

Hi! Thanks for your response…yes, lots of dairy! I can’t imagine taking her off of it. Her igg and iga results where in the normal range as well…

It's very common for celiacs to be intolerant of dairy. In many cases, once there has been healing of the villi, dairy can be added back in. Something to think about.

Got it, thank you! Do you think this could be the case even though she has had no symptoms since being diagnosed in May?

also, just to throw out there. She had the stomach bug just before having these tests done. I wonder if this could throw off the results?

Ah! The stomach bug. I would guess that could cause inflammation of the small bowel lining. At any rate, I would have those tests repeated. The higher numbers could be a temporary anomaly.

You are awesome…. Thanks for your input. Am going to contact our dr tomorrow. 
 

will follow-up on here! Thank you.

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
