Getting Tests Back...

All right...so I know this is the millionth time I've written about this.

Have any of you who've been diagnosed by your doc with Celiac, gone through a re-check and seen how you're responding...by this I mean getting the TTG done again and then comparing it with your first test.

I'm waiting for mine to come back and I'd like to know if people have seen theirs stay the same, drop or go up higher? Or have some of you not been re-checked by your doc...your feelings on this?

Thanks.

Thanks for the response Vincent...do you mean your son's ped gi wants to do follow-up testing or the actual celiac test? he's already been diagnosed, right?

Well he has the postive blood test, but the doc wants to re-test after he has been gluten-free for a while to confirm the dx.

      What do these results mean?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Nstvns03! Immunoglobulin A Qn is not a test for celiac disease per se. It's what we commonly call "total IGA" and it is a test used to determine if there is IGA deficiency. If there is IGA deficiency, the individual IGA tests done to look for celiac disease are going to be artificially low and this can produce false negatives. Obviously, you are not IGA deficient. But the question needs to be asked, had you already been practicing a reduced gluten diet when the blood draw was done for these tests?

      I had celiac testing done and the only think in that test that was high was the immunoglobulin A Qn results was off the chart high at 419. Does this confirm celiac if everything else but that test was normal?

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      Thank you for clarifying! Something to possibly consider as I continue on my “non-gluten” quest and if I do not improve, but being new to this whole realm and already overwhelmed and stressed, this would have pushed me over the edge right now. 🥹

      Thanks for the information, knitty kitty. It helps bring some clarity and reduces the confusion that misinformation such as is contained in this thread title introduces into the community. People new to the celiac experience are already struggling to wrap their minds around not being able to eat just wheat, barley and rye any longer. We don't need to unnecessarily add to the list on "no no" foods. And I saw where you added this same post to the thread on oats as well.

      Thank you for your reply. 56 years! Wow!  It seems we all suffer for many years before this diagnosis and I’ll stay hopeful that I can try more foods after healing. I have a very limited diet at present. Onwards and upwards 😊
