He has had 3 blood tests- one at the beginning of this journey, one a few months later and one at recent endoscopy. They all came back positive (IgA), ranging 6.6-9 (0-5 being considered negative). The blood test he wants to run is from previous samples and it’s for a specific protein that is very accurate in diagnosis apparently? I asked him what else c...

Hi there, we have an ongoing saga with diagnosis for my 6 year old. Long story short- he’s been suffering with symptoms for a year now- abdominal pain, loose stools/ fatty stools, headaches and significant joint pain. He has had 3 positive Ttg IgA’s over a 6 month period (mildly positive ranging from 6.6-9 and everything over 5 is positive) and pos...

He seems to want to explore other options as feels there’s not clear enough markers? I disagree. He started talking about NCGS as well but I dismissed that as NCGS does not cause elevated IgA. So I’m right that SIBO wouldn’t cause positive IgA? he spoke a lot about kids like my son who 50% go on to develop coeliac but 50% don’t..?

My son has been having ongoing investigations for coeliac disease. We have a family history and he has abdominal pain, bloating, mucus stools, headaches and joint pain (all of which come and go). He has had 3 separate blood tests- first showed ttg IgA of 8.1, second 5.9 (at time of endoscopy) and third 6.5 (I believe normal is 0-4.9). We have spoken...

Elevated Ttg IgG and negative biopsy
Sarah910 replied to Sarah910's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It was Ttg IgG I believe? I was told 0-5 was considered normal and anything above was a positive result (although below 10 is ‘weak’ positive). From my research, that scale is the IgG parameters. I’m also under the impression that NCGS does not cause raised antibodies on blood test, so I don’t think it accounts for the raised result. -
Elevated Ttg IgG and negative biopsy
Sarah910 replied to Sarah910's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks Scott. I believe he’s got coeliac based on symptoms and the blood test (it was Ttg IgG that was positive). Given the fact he’s so young, and been suffering a relatively short time, I don’t believe he has enough gut damage to be present on biopsy (for which I’m thankful, of course! but makes this process harder). The consultant won’t diagn... -
Hi all, I’m looking for some advice and wisdom. Here’s some back story.. My 5 year old son has been suffering with stomach aches, mucusy stools, headaches and joint pains since November last year after a run of nasty winter virus’. Due to having coeliac in the family (my late grandmother and uncle) and feeling his symptoms were autoimmune in natur...
