Negative tTG-IgA, DGP-IgG, Gliadin IgA&IgG back in October 2021 - worth pursuing further?

Hi! I've been having various symptoms, such as gastritis, colon inflammation, anxiety, mood swings, etc for a couple years.

In October 2021 a did a celiac panel including:

Total IgA - normal

tTG-IgA, DGP-IgG, Gliadin IgA&IgG - all negative and very low.

Does it basically rule out celiac disease with 98-99% certainty? I'm not talking about gluten sensitivity now. I can't say my symptoms feel worse after having gluten, but they just persist.

I though about DGP-IgA, which is positive for some people despite other tests being negative, but I had the "old" test Gliadin IgA&IgG - isn't it basically the same?

Thanks!

Also, does doing the genetic test make sense?

Welcome to the forum!

There are two medically recognized conditions in those who can't tolerate gluten: 1) Celiac disease, which around 1% of people have, and 2) Non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which around 10% of people have.

There is currently no test for the latter condition, NCGS, but if you have either a gluten-free diet is the only way to avoid symptoms and related issues.

Given that you tested negative but do have possible symptoms that may be related to gluten it might make sense for you to go gluten-free for a few months to see if you find relief.

You can get a genetic test if you like, but it would only reveal whether or not you carry the genetic makeup for celiac disease, and not necessarily NCGS.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Popcorn pain

      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 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      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.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      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?
