My Results Are Borderline - Where To Go From Here?

I was tested a year ago for Celiac and got borderline results. Has anyone tested borderline and then got a positive? I'm just trying to figure out if I should try to get my Doctor to test me again to see if anything has changed.

My results:

IGA 9 (0-19 Negative)

IGG 17 (0-19 Negative)

TTG 18 (0-19 Negative)

I appreciate any insight or suggestions you may have.

Thank you.

Hi Laura. All of my son's tests were positive. My daughter's were borderline. The doctor said this would mean that she could develop celiac disease some time in the future. He strongly urged us not to put her on a gluten free diet because he said it is a hard life, and it would be unfair to do this since she does not have celiac disease. However, the wise and experienced members of this board urged me to to keep her glutenfree too, and I'm glad I did. She is a different person now. Many minor (yet unexplained) health issues have since resolved. I really think doctors still don't know a lot about diagnosing celiac disease.

Anyway, why not just give the diet a try (especially if you have some symptoms)?

Good luck and welcome to Celiac.com.

Thank you so much for your response. I have had symptoms for years now. They have just recently gotten worse. My symptoms are fatigue, inability to gain weight, alternating constipation and diarreah (sp?), muscle pain, hair loss, anxiety and most recently just had an ANA test come back positive. I have had further testing done because my doctor thought it might be Lupus but all of those came back negative. I have also had numerous tests for other things and they all come up negative.

I think my next move will be to try the diet and see if I notice a difference in my symptoms.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
