I was looking at my daughters tests which I have had for a few months and saw something that made me curious. Her Immunoglobulin A was under "range". What does that mean? Is that considered IG deficient or just low? Could it give a false negative on the celiac tests?

Immunoglobulin A 56 range 57-300

Immunoglobulin G 1195 range 842-2013

Immunoglobulin M 113 range 23-281

also tested:

IGA Antibody <3 <11 = negative

IGG Antibody 3 <11 = negative

There are false negatives. You may also want to consider that your child is not celiac but rather gluten intolerant. You can have her get a stool test through enterolabs. Or, you could just put her on a gluten free diet and see if there is a change in her health.

You might have to ask your doctor about that. I'm not sure what qualifies as "deficient." However, it will only affect the "IgA" based tests.

Also, did your doctor run the tTG and EMA tests? They are the most sensitive/specific for Celiac, not the antigliadin antibody tests.

He did the EMA and it was negative.

She is trying the diet (1 month so far) and doing better. It doesn't matter if she is celiac or just sensitive if it works. I am just very intrigued by the disease and all that is still not understood about it.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Tyoung · Posted

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Confused with test results

      By Captain173 · Posted

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      Anyone Got Sick From Canola Oil?

      By gailc · Posted

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.
