Hopefully somone can help me interpret these.

IGA is 274.2 REF Range 66.0 - 436.0

TTG (Tissue Transglutaminase AB) <3 REF Range: <5 Negative, 5-8 Equivocal, >8 Positive

Endomysial AB - Negative

Gliadin/Gluten IGG - 11 Ref Range: <11 negative, 11-17 Equivocal, >17 Positive - From what I'm gettin this is the only one that might show something

Gliadin/ Gluten IGA AB - <3 Ref Range: <11 Negative, 11-17 Equivocal, >17 Positive

I also might add that they have the IGG marked as high on my results

Anyone, I don't know if the equivocal IGG could mean intolerance or not.

It could. Try the diet strictly for a few weeks (at least 3) and see how you feel. Then try eating some plain wheat, barley or rye (like pasta made from flour and water) to see how you feel.

If you feel better, but then worse after eating it, then, yes, you likely have issues with gluten. It could also be an anamoly or indicative of a broader leaky gut problem or even IBD.

Bloodwork isn't incredibly reliable, but the diet testing it well worth the effort.

Had a colonoscopy about 3 weeks ago. No IBD so I'm good in that sense.

Yes it could. You mention in your sig going back on gluten for testing so if that testing is now done you may want to go back to the diet. If you are also having a scope keep eating gluten until that is done.

      Allergy Meds

      By trents · Posted

      Your only resort would seem to be directly contacting the manufacturer and ask some pointed questions about CC . . . and hope you get some straight answers. You are probably already aware of this but the label "Gluten Free" does not necessarily equate to zero gluten. "Gluten Free" is a standard established by the FDA whereby a product can use that label as long as it does not contain an amount of gluten exceeding 20 ppm. There is also "Certified Gluten Free" which is a third party certifying standard signifying that the product does not exceed 10 ppm. There are limits to detection technology much below that.

      It may be naturally gluten-free but I worry about cross contamination as my kiddo has had bad reactions if things aren't actually gluten free.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      They will have to put him back on gluten in order to get accurate tests results, so all the progress may be lost for a while. My grandson was 2 1/2 years old when he, his father, and his mother, were diagnosed.  He was not even on the chart for height or weight and had not been on the chart since he was 12 months old.  The first month he went gluten free he gained 6 pounds and grew an inch.  Unfortunately, he missed a whole lot of opportunity to grow in those first years.  He remained the smallest, skinniest kid in the class until high school when he clawed his way into the middle row for pictures.  He is 20 and topped out at 5 ft 6 inches.  His mother is 5'7 in a family where everyone is 6 feet tall or more.   His younger brother was 7 months old when he was diagnosed.  At 18 he is 6ft tall.  Best to catch it as early as possible.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      Maybe you picked up a little intestinal virus? Maybe some ingredient in the gluten free processed foods you've been consuming is causing this. In order to simulate the texture that wheat provides, a lot of gluten free products contain ingredients that may cause digestive distress. Xanthan gum and similar polysaccharides are among the chief offenders.

      Welcome @Ems10, Isn't is wonderful how a simple change helps. Gluten free eating is not a punishment.  It does take attention to details when buying processed foods.
