Hi, Bevel!! :lol: You sound great! Sorry about that wicked insomnia... . .

Come, sweet slumber,

Enshroud me in thy purple cloak. . . . ...

Er whatever. . .. . . .. :rolleyes:

Gawd Sillies--what a mornin' we're havin' here :o

Patteigh!! What's goin' on over there? Are you having a crazy morning? Whassup?

We are still experiencing technical difficulties with computers here at work....as soon as we get them up and running they crash again....and this is hopsital wide!

Amanda, I think perhaps you should be looking closely at some of the employees that surround you .. . . . . . . ....does ANYone, any doctor, orderly, administrator, look ANything like our big phlipover POeter? I think he may have been keeping something from us. . .. . . ..perhaps he is working there part-time, and part-time at the petshop. This would explain the internal high-tech glitches quite succinctly.

Or there's Tareeesa, who recently phlipped over the 500 mark.. . ......

Could she really be that quiet female surgeon who you don't see or speak with much?

Have we ever SEEN a pic of her? Don't think so . . . . . . .and why would that be?. . . . .....hmmm. . . . ..

:lol:

Maybe one of the sillies is hiding in my office pretending to be here with me!

OMG sillies there is a car in the parking lot literally parked up over the curb!

My coworker is being tested for celiac today- she had an upper gi done a few weeks ago and they saw damage supposedly consistent with celiac.

Hi guys!! :D

Just got back from the vets with Harry.

He has been de-peanutted AND vaccinated.

I took him to a vet clinic that does low cost neutering....but when I told them he was a stray I stole took in they waived the fee!!!!!!!!! :D

Anyhoo, am laughing at the poor wee bugger who is frantically licking and cleaning whilst no doubt screaming in his li'l cat mind 'WTF's happened to meeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o '

Soo much to comment on but don't have the brain power! :lol:

Oh guys- scary times have reached as far as the hospital. The college side of the hospital has went under a raise freeze. There is a hiring freeze and instead of handing out pink slips they are going to try to reduce the staff by 260 positions by Sept. They will do this by not filling previously vacated spots..... Who knows what happens after Sept....

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      Keep us posted and let us know the results of the biopsy. Your case is atypical in a way in that you have this high DGP-IGA but normal TTG-IGA so knowing how it turns out will give us more data for similar situations that may be posted in the future.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      Fair enough! I very easily could have misread somewhere. Celiac is very confusing lol but I should know in a little over a month what the final verdict is. Just thought chatting with people smarter than myself would get me in the right mindset. I just thought that DGP IGA was pretty high compared to some stuff I had seen and figured someone on here would be more willing to say it is more than likely celiac instead of my doctor who is trying to be less direct. She did finally say she believes it is celiac but wanted to confirm with the biopsy. I did figure it wouldn't hurt seeing what other people said too just because not all doctors are the best. I think mine is actually pretty good from what I have seen but I don't know what I don't know lol. Sorry lot of rambling here just trying to get every thought out. Thanks again!

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      No, you don't necessarily need multiple testing methods to confirm celiac disease. There is an increasing trend for celiac diagnoses to be made on a single very high tTG-IGA test score. This started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was extreme stress on the healthcare system there and it is spreading to the US. A tTG-IGA score of somewhere between 5x and 10x normal is good enough by itself for some physicians to declare celiac disease. And mind you, that is the tTG-IGA, not the DGP-IGA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac antibody testing, the one test most commonly ordered and the one that physicians have the most confidence in. But in the US, many physicians still insist on a biopsy, even in the event of high tTG-IGA scores. Correct, the biopsy is considered "confirmation" of the blood antibody testing. But what is the need for confirmation of a testing methodology if the testing methodology is fool proof? As for the contribution of genetic testing for celiac disease, it cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease while only 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But it can be used to rule out celiac disease. That is, if you don't have the genes, you don't have celiac disease but you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      Okay yeah that helps! To answer your last bit my understanding was that you need to have multiple tests to confirm celiac. Blood, biopsy, dna, and then I think symptoms is another one. Either way I think everything has to be confirmed with the biopsy because that is the gold standard for testing (Doctors words). You also answered another question I forgot to ask about which is does a high value push to a higher % on those scales. I truly appreciate your answers though and just like hearing what other people think. Digging into forums and google for similar stuff has been tough. So thank you again!
