My 3yr old's 690 IgA Result

Probably not! I could switch to better oats. If I remove them all the other breakfast options seem inferior! Do you trust the gluten free cereals more? She is very unhappy right now so I must have slipped up somewhere in the last few days 😂 -

So 680 seems to be a pretty strong indication of Celiac. This is start of a life long journey but my daughter won't be alone now we have found you... -
My 3 yr old's IgA Result was 690!! This is very concerning as the lab result says 80 is high. Her IgG was also 118. One week on a Gluten free diet and she is already feeling much better but I would love to know more. Is such a high result rare? Does this mean she has a 99% chance of having Celiac? Her Dr. said the only way to know is to have a biopsy...
