i just got an endoscopy done and also a full blood panel. i'm waiting to hear back the results. my food allergist found that my gliadin ab (iga) was at 32 with the reference range <11 u/mL. i'm feeling awful. is it safe to say that there is definitely some kind of gluten allergy going on or could this be something else? thanks for any tips before i can get back in to the doc!

Yes that was a postive test for celiac. Since you are done with testing start the diet. You could already have a great deal of relief by the time you go back for the results.

thanks,

also, what exactly is Deam. Gliadin Pep. IgA and IgG? is it the same as what i mentioned previously? my thyroid doctor did a test of these and they were in the normal range. just curious if they are the same thing and if so, why the # would be so different. my Deam IgA was 5 and Deam IgG was 1.

Anybody have any thoughts?

Why would one gliadin antibody IgA be at 32 and the "Deam. Gliadin Pep. IgA" read 5? are they two completely different things?

Two different labs did the testing which were about a month apart. I had my thyroid doc retest while I was giving blood (which was the one that read 5) but she didn't seem to know too much about it and said to take the two results into my gi doc.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.

      Yeah I had zero thoughts on celiac it was an ibs referral. She suspected celiac when she started questioning me and I already needed a colonoscopy which I guess is why she didn’t care that I had been fairly gluten free up to that point. Because they would have just done the biopsy when doing the colonoscopy. I don’t know we will see just figured I’d put that info on the forum in case someone finds it interesting later. I’ll update in April when I find out.
