How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?
Thanks, sorry for all the questions but in the above link.. ’Remember, nearly all tests and screening for celiac disease require the patient to be eating a gluten-containing diet before testing’ I guess this also applies to other lectins so you would need to be eating them in order to find out via igg/ige testing which ones you’re reacting to?

I haven’t had the test because I didn’t know about it until I’d already been along the elimination diet route and it’s pretty obvious if I eat the wrong thing because I swell up like a balloon and my guts bleed. Possibly another a... -

What do these results mean?
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....
