Question about Gliadin IgA serum level

I'm sorry to bother y'all again, but as I've been doing more research, I have never seen (or read) of anyone with a Gliadin IgA score of 182.6.  I believe the highest I've seen was a 27.  This score seems extremely high and has me a bit worried. Has anyone else had a score that high? Are there any other diseases/illnesses (besides celiac) that would cause such a high score?

Oh, and one more question...  Do you feel that IgA 299 (standard range 68-359 mg/dL) is on the high side?  Are there any other diseases/illnesses that could cause such a high score?

Any thoughts/input would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your help. 

IgA 299 (standard range 68-359 mg/dL)
Gliadin IgA 182.6 (standard range less than 19.9 CU)
Gliadin IgG 3.2 (standard range less than 19.9 CU)
Tissue Transglut IGA Less than 1.9 (standard range less than 19.9 CU)
Endomysial IgA Screen NEGATIVE

If anyone could share their input, that would be wonderful. ☺️

My deamidated gliadin peptide IgA was 143, with a normal range up to 19.  Not quite as high as yours, but still high. I’m not sure if this is exactly the same test as yours.  Gliadin IgA is an older test, but some labs write that when it is the deamidated gliadin peptide test. High numbers on celiac antibody tests don’t always correlate with severe intestinal damage, but likely do indicate celiac disease and not something else.

Your total IgA of 299 is fine, well within the normal range.

Thank you, RMJ!!!  I am such a worry wart and that makes me feel so much better!  It seems that the number is high, but not unheard of. I thought that 299 was high, but it is within the normal range, so I will try not to read more into it.  Thank you for responding. I truly appreciate it! 🙂

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
