Well we got back the 6 month mark test results on my 12 year old daughter Yippee. They were normal! TTg had been 164 and it was now 8. I had been very anxious since she doesn't have symptoms. We eat out once a week to safe places but I was never fully sure. My youngest has been on gluten to retest in 6 months. She was totally normal at this lab and was weak positive at the other 6 months ago And yes she has been getting a lot of gluten! I pumped her full. So now I really wouldn't go on a positive TTg without a biopsy. We have had very odd results for different labs. We have had issues with both kids and funky labwork. Of course if she had symptoms and helped by a gluten-free diet I wouldn't question labs so much. Anyway just happy and wanted to share.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      Honestly it was like a solid couple of months. I started sometime in early December and the blood draw was on the 18th of Feb. Again it was almost all the time except a few days here and there with a cheat meal or even a whole day. Overall those it was a paleo diet like 98% of that time. I didn't go gluten free on purpose I was avoiding all grains and felt some aches and pains go away so I kept doing it, but then kept telling myself I needed more fiber which is why I had those cheat meals every now and then lol.

      How long had you been practicing a reduced gluten diet by the time you had the blood draw?

      I forgot to mention that I wasn’t prepared to take a celiac test so when I took this test I was pretty gluten free except for some cheat meals here and there. But I was about 98% gluten free at that point except I had gluten a few times a few days before this test by coincidence. So I probably skewed the numbers a bit by accident.

      Keep us posted and let us know the results of the biopsy. Your case is atypical in a way in that you have this high DGP-IGA but normal TTG-IGA so knowing how it turns out will give us more data for similar situations that may be posted in the future.

      Fair enough! I very easily could have misread somewhere. Celiac is very confusing lol but I should know in a little over a month what the final verdict is. Just thought chatting with people smarter than myself would get me in the right mindset. I just thought that DGP IGA was pretty high compared to some stuff I had seen and figured someone on here would be more willing to say it is more than likely celiac instead of my doctor who is trying to be less direct. She did finally say she believes it is celiac but wanted to confirm with the biopsy. I did figure it wouldn't hurt seeing what other people said too just because not all doctors are the best. I think mine is actually pretty good from what I have seen but I don't know what I don't know lol. Sorry lot of rambling here just trying to get every thought out. Thanks again!
