First, you will have to tell us what the reference ranges are. All labs have different standards. I know that Enterolab - anything OVER 10 is positive.

With the lab we went through, each portion of the test has a different reference range. Example.... the ref range for IgG was <11 for a negative result. (mine was 69)

I'm also not seeing a tTg or an Total Syrum IgA for your results. Do you have those numbers??

all i know is the igg panel and iga panel under 11 was considered normal

i have nothing else for the other panel that was done

and the other ones they werent done just the two panels

the gliadin panel, and the endomysical panel were the only two test run

and the retiuline iga thats all the ran is that not the full panel?

tTG-IgA or tissue transglutaminase-IgA

AGA-IgG or Antigliadin IgG

AGA-IgA or Antigliadin IGA

Total IGA

This is a full Celiac panel - so it looks as if your doctor didn't run ALL the necessary tests.

Though, the numbers presented there do indicate a negative blood test. However, without a total syrum IgA - it's not known whether or not your child is IgA deficient. And, if he is.... the numbers you have there don't mean very much.

I'm sure that someone will have a better explanation, but to me - it does look like they missed something.

I don't think the Anti Reticulin screen is done much anymore, as it's not as specific as the others.

I'm crossing fingers that others will read and respond. I wish I could help you further. I'm still kind of "new" at this. And the lab tests confuse me. Especially when it seems that they aren't too accurate to begin with. =(

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
