IgA 0.51 (range 0.34 - 3.05 g/L)

So while in range - it's quite low.

TTG 11.00 (range 0 - 20 U/m) 

TTG has been above range before (but only just) so carried on eating normally and this was test 6 months later. 

Lab wouldn't test EMA because TTG was normal which I find annoying as he's had positive EMA before. 

Dr says all normal so good news not coeliac. 

Would you consider this normal too. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that there are antibodies there - why would the body make antibodies against  something unless there was an autoimmune issue. 

Also it's for my son who's only 8 so would need general anesthetic for an endoscopy so we're not going to put him through that and Dr wouldn't agree it anyway.

      Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis

      I only had the one endoscopy. My GI wasn’t worried that I still had blunted villi. My antibody levels are now normal. I never had specific symptoms, although I generally feel better now, less fatigue. I think not having excess lymphocytes any more would be an improvement. Since you still have symptoms I hope your doctors will still look for a...

      Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis

      Thanks so much for replying. I truly appreciate it. I was diagnosed in December of 2020 after having an endoscopy with biopcies. The biopcies showed the same thing. Mild blunting of the villi and it was also showing lymphocytes. This time is still showing mild blunting and no lymphocytes. No sure If that would be an improvement. The thing I improved on...

      Thanks so much for replying.  I truly appreciate it. I was diagnosed in December of 2020 after having an endoscopy with biopcies. The biopcies showed the same thing.  Mild blunting of the villi and it was also showing lymphocytes.  This time is still showing mild blunting and no lymphocytes.  No sure If that would be an improvement. The thing I improved on gluten-free diet but I am still experiencing symptoms.  I have read that some adults might never fully recover their villi. I was truly hoping that would not be me. My antibodies are now within normal range. Just wondering if you have had any other endoscopy after the 4 year mark and how are you feeling now. Just looking for hope. Thanks
