What can cause elevated TTG besides celiac?

I could be wrong about this because I am still learning, but I think Crohn's can sometimes cause elevations. My son had elevated tTg levels, and they are doing an upper and lower scope to look for both of these things. He is not too happy about this!

But she don't have any other symptoms like stomach pain ++ :unsure:

The gastroscopy did not show a clear celiac gut. It was like it was celiac some places and some places not.

I'm not going to say my son has never had stomach pain before, but it is not his defining symptom, either. He originally was being looked at for a possibly arthritic to. They did an ANA panel, and that was raised, then among all the tests they happened to do aceliac screen as well, and that came back positive, too. His ANA was high for IBD (among a bunch of ther ofther junk, too- that's why they're looking at a few things).

I know it's weird, and frustrating when you don't have a clear answer.

Celiac damage (blunted villi) can be patchy like you describe.

      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.
