Anyone Else Iga Deficient?

Daughter and myself having celiac symptoms, but we are BOTH IgA deficient. I am having trouble getting the doctors to order the right blood tests. My daughter had her AGA IgG come back high (22, normal is 0-10). But that is the only indicator that she may have celiac. There is conflicting journal articles to whether AGA IgG is a good measure for IgA deficient individuals....so I want her pediatrician and my doctor to order TtG IgG, EMA IgG, AGA IgG. Is that too much to ask? Anyone else have to order these special blood tests due to IgA deficiency? Does her positive AGA mean that she is most likely celiac?

Thanks,

Vickie

Yes of course the right procedure ifor them is to order all the other celiac tests in the IgG version, here in Europe it is routine that hte lab does the IgG version if one is IgA deficient.

The antigliadin IgG is said to be not so very specific for celiac, that is all. It may be elevated sometimes if allergic to milk or in some cases of parasites I think I read.

The biopsy is the gold standard.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Hi there, I have a few questions about my daughter who is 2 and has been gluten-free for two weeks following her diagnosis please! She was originally diagnosed due to having faecal impaction and chronic constipation. Since starting the gluten-free diet, we are still on daily movicol but she is pooping a lot more than before. Could this finally be her naturally clearing out the backlog as her digestive system is actually starting to work again? Secondly the colour of her stools has recently been a bit pinkish. It does not look like blood, but I wondered if this is normal again for a colour shift post diet change? Finally, she has had a very large tummy due to the coeliac. How long does this take to go down? Thank you!

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      By gregoryC · Posted

      Everything I had was included in the cruise fare. The coffee at cafe al baico is not but,  ALL baked goods are! If you want a coffee, latte, or espresso the charge is $4 to $5. Not bad for some excellent coffee! The buffet and spa cafe has free coffee and drinks. Also large selection of the best ice cream, sorbet, and gelato at sea for free!  with Celebrity I don’t feel like I have a handicap.

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      I love that there's wheat all over the wall paper for the gluten-free section. It looks good. Was the café included in the free meals or was that extra?
