Confused About Test Results And Ranges

hi there, i'm brand new to this site. i just received my results back and hope someone can help me by reviewing my results and ranges.

(as shown on my lab work)-

ttg antibody, ga: my result <3 units u/ml ref range <5

gliadin antibody (iga): my result 8 units u/ml ref range <11

iga, serum: my result 343 units mg/dl ref range 81-463

from my research i've noticed labs measure using different ranges and have different "normals". i am so confused and frustrated because i've been to many doctors over the years for my symptoms which include- painful bloating, bone and joint pain, irritable bowels with both constipation and diaherea, low alkaline phosphatase, a rash that comes and goes for years in the same place (never had it checked out) and several other daily issues that seem to fit celiac/gluten intolerance. i do believe my problems have everything to do with gluten being the culprit after having other things ruled out. i just need to convince the doctor to look into it as a possibility.

i feel like i need to be "armed" with as much info as possible for my doc appt. next week to go over my results. can anyone help me with the info i gave above to see if i should suggest a bioposy or genetic testing before i go gluten free? i really appreciate it ...

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Jack Common · Posted

      I don't have symptoms now. But this DGP IgG is high than normal. I read your article. Very nice by the way. Based on it I don't need to do DGP IgG because I don't have IgA deficiency. I did it first time because those days I didn't know the right procedure for blood tests so I did all. What might you do if you was me? Just keep eating gluten and do tests again after some time? Biopsy is not available in my town. I also read somewhere if a person has NCGS he doesn't have any blood tests high. Very confusing situation.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By Jack Common · Posted

      What can I do next? Just continue getting gluten from food and do the tests again after some time like 6 months while observing symptoms if any? I read somewhere if a person has NCGS he shouldn't have any blood tests high. So I'm worry.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Nicbent35 · Posted

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.
