I was diagnosed 12 yrs ago and have been gluten-free since. Recent antibody tests show deamidated gliadin ads, IgG at 15 (with normal <15). 
Does this indicate gluten exposure? A little bit of exposure? Or maybe test inaccuracy? What does it mean? Dr says probably some cross contaminationThanks for your help. Other tests:

Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 

 At 0.7 

Tissue

Transglutaminase, IgA <0.5

Tissue

Transglutaminase, IgG <0.8

normal range for all tests is <15

@Joyes, the info you supply show your TTG-IGG a <0.8, not 15. That is well within normal range. The normal range is <15.

It is so borderline I would not worry about it. The DGP-IGG is a second tier test anyway and not quite as specific for celiac disease as are the IGA tests.

This might be helpful: 

Also, do you have scores for that test from your original diagnosis for comparison? And if not evaluated by the same lab it wouldn't help anyway since different labs use different reference scales. There are no industry standards for these tests in that regard. I think the important thing here would be to look for trends over time if you get tested regularly.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
