Gliadin (Deamidated Peptide) Antibody (IgG) - HELP


MamaofThree

Recommended Posts

Hi all! Thanks for letting me join the forum.

My husband is waiting for some additional bloodwork to come back. We originally ordered all of these labs to rule out Celiac and other digestive health stuff thinking my husband had IBS. However, we just got the results back for the Gliadin Deamidated Peptide IGG Antibody. 

It says the antibody WAS detected and that it was 28.2 (anything over 15 is positive per this lab).

We're waiting for the rest of the panels to come back but I'm in a rabbit hole here. Is there any way for him to have this antibody and NOT have Celiac?

Welcome to the forum @MamaofThree!

It is possible for your husband to have elevated DGP-IGG and not have celiac disease. None of the antibody tests given to diagnose celiac disease are 100% specific, meaning there are some other possible causes for the elevation. DGP-IGG is considered a secondary celiac antibody test and not as specific as the tTG-IGA or the EMA. But it is specific enough to present a very good possibility that if it is elevated, it means someone does have celiac disease. Here is an overview of the various blood tests and their relative sensitivity/specificity used to diagnose celiac disease:

      Good luck to you.  I would not get past that first slice of bread.  I would be vomiting and have diarrhea within 30 minutes and it would continue for hours and I would feel like I was hit by a truck for days.  My functional medicine doctor told me to stop taking Calcium and to significantly up my Vitamin D, add K2, lots of Magnesium, some boron and collagen.  This was all recommended after taking the Spectracell test for nutrient deficiencies.  Started doing this at 54 when diagnosed and at 72 no issues with the old bones.

      I live in Ottawa Canada and would be interested in a swap with someone who also has a gluten-free house. I’d love to swap out in winter for somewhere warm.

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would...
