Yes, all your test scores point to celiac disease. I think this is the first time I have ever seen all positives on a full celiac panel. But then, seldom do do physicians order a full celiac panel. Many or most will only order the TTG-IGA. By the way, your score for that one at 128 far exceeds 10x the upper limit of normal. In Europe, many doctors would grant... -

Hi Trent, yes I started a new thread with the same title but added (Updated) on the end of the title. -

Help Interpreting My Lab Results?
Do you mean you started a whole new thread? In other words, somewhere else in the forum? I still don't see any reference ranges in any of your posts in this thread. I'm looking for something like this: Gliadin Deaminated Antibody IgA - 21.0 (<17) Gliadin Deaminated Antibody IgG - 19.0 (<15) Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Ab - 128.0... -

Yes, all your test scores point to celiac disease. I think this is the first time I have ever seen all positives on a full celiac panel. But then, seldom do do physicians order a full celiac panel. Many or most will only order the TTG-IGA. By the way, your score for that one at 128 far exceeds 10x the upper limit of normal. In Europe, many doctors would grant you an official diagnosis of celiac disease on that alone. And diagnosing on high TTG-IGA scores alone is very slowly gaining traction in the USA. But don't make the mistake of starting a gluten free diet until all testing for celiac is done. It is likely that your doctor may refer you for an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the results of the antibody testing and you don't want to begin the gluten free diet until that is over or you may invalidate the outcome.

The last one, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is not a celiac antibody test per se but what we call "total IGA" which is looking for IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, their IGA celiac antibody test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Total IGA "normal" is given as a range rather than a less than.
