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!

 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.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.
