Help with test results

I am sooo confused by these test results. My tissue transglutaminase IG-A came back 236.17 but the ranges listed are 84.50-499. Ive seen people with an IG-A of 102 that is positive for celiac. I don’t know if they are running any additional panels. Any interpretations please?

Test results are in mg/dL

From what you've just posted I don't have enough info to be sure how to interpret your results. Normally 236 tTG would be high on most scales I've seen, but your results should say something like <100 normal....any change  you can post an image of the results? Alternatively you should also ask your doctor of course.

I think 236.17 is a total IgA result, not a tissue transglutaminase IgA result.  84.5-499 is a reasonable range for total IgA.  Tissue transglutaminase IgA results do not have weight per volume (milligrams per deciliter i.e. mg/dL) units.  There was another forum member recently whose results were laid out in a very confusing manner on the printout and it was difficult for her to tell which was which.  Perhaps you could post a photo of your results?

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?

      Some of the largest contract manufacturers in the U.S. include companies like NutraScience Labs, Capsugel (part of Lonza), and Thorne Research. These companies produce supplements for a wide range of brands, from small startups to well-known names.
