Need help interpreting blood results!

Hello,

I was just looking for some help interpreting my blood results. My celiac panel had a note from the lab that states “no serological evidence found of celiac”. But my IgA was high 378 with a rang of 47-310. Can this mean celiac? I was told yea but I’m not sure. 

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Is that your tTg-IgA result? Or just the IgA? Usually celiac panels do an IgA test to see if you're deficient in IgA. If you are deficient in IgA, the tissue transglutaminase tests might give you a false negative and other blood tests may be required.

What were your other test results?

Thanks for the reply!

so the celiac panel when i look at the results are: 

The one mentioned above which is high but then I also have tTg which is in range with <1 with a range of <15 and states “antibody not detected”

please let me know if I’m missing anything!

Were you eating gluten regularly before the test?

Did you have any other antibody tests done like the DPG?

 So when i look at the tests this is all that was tested it does say celiac panel. 

It says “celiac disease comp panel w/Gliadin AB (IGG) 

“No serological evidence for celiac is present. tTg may normalize in individuals with celiac disease”

Tissue Transglutaminase AB, IGA: normal <1 range of <15. Antibody not detected

Immunoglobin A: Hight 378 range 47-310

thats all i see under celiac panel testing, there were other tests but not part of celiac

I would suggest the complete Celiac Disease panel. 

https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/screening-and-diagnosis/screening/

Anemia and Diabetes can cause false negatives, so can having Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I'm a big fan of genetic testing.

      Just diagnosed with Celiac! Scared and feel alone.

      If your celiac antibody tests are still positive that may explain the ongoing symptoms. You might examine your diet and try to get those tests in the normal range before doing something like an MRI or CT scan. It took me almost six years to get all of my antibody tests in the normal range. At first I thought I was eating gluten free by avoiding wheat...

      Inhaler problem

      @Ann13, thanks for the clarification. I think I understand your point now. Yes, I realize gluten can produce non Gi Reactions. Let us know if you find out that there is gluten in these inhalers. I have my doubts but gluten does show up in strange places. It could also be manufacturer dependent of these inhaler products are generic.

      Inhaler problem

      Not everyone will be allergic to whatever they're using in food. There is another forum re people who are posting they have vocal cord & throat issues after they eat breads & pastas which stopped after they removed those foods from their diets. Same as me...gluten doesn't react as gastrointestinal it reacts orally. Which is why I'm saying ensure all...

      I certainly agree with all that. However, you also mentioned cornflakes with barley malt but that would obviously not be gluten free since barley is a gluten-containing grain. And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this...

      Re food, I said the gluten free thing isn't necessarily about gluten itself, but chemical sprays they use on GRAINS which cause allergic throat & vocal cord issues regardless of the inhaler you're using. Your issue may not be the inhaler but eating gluten free food that still will bother you because they have been sprayed with certain chemicals. Barley...

      If your celiac antibody tests are still positive that may explain the ongoing symptoms.  You might examine your diet and try to get those tests in the normal range before doing something like an MRI or CT scan.  It took me almost six years to get all of my antibody tests in the normal range.  At first I thought I was eating gluten free by avoiding wheat, rye and barley in the ingredient list.  Then I made sure foods were labeled gluten free, one antibody was still positive.  Now if I eat processed foods I buy certified gluten free or foods labeled gluten free from companies with good reputations in the celiac community.

And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this online community is focused on. Is the point of this thread that having a gluten disorder makes someone more susceptible to reacting adversely to inhalers? That could be but it may have nothing to do with the inhaler having gluten. It could have to do with, say, having higher systemic yeast counts because the celiac community...

      Re food,  I said the gluten free thing isn't necessarily about gluten itself, but chemical sprays they use on GRAINS which cause allergic throat & vocal cord issues regardless of the inhaler you're using.  Your issue may not be the inhaler but eating gluten free food that still will bother you because they have been sprayed with certain chemicals. Barley & oats cause vocal and throat issues with me as well as gluten free flours. We didn't have gluten issues in the world yrs ago...the food changed somehow or they're using sprays that cause reactions in some people.  Re inhaler: Symbicort is registered as gluten free but companies can change their ingredients at any time so you may want to...
