Where did you get a cross reactivity test? -
I have thought about it and I am open to it but I haven't researched it yet. I am seeing an integrative medicine dr on Tuesday and a functional medicine dr next month first. If those don't work out, I will next consider a fecal transplant. Do you know how effective it is for candida, bacterial overgrowth and food sensitives?
-
I eliminated most sugars and starches over a year ago and then completely eliminated them in September. The overgrowth only got worse during that time. I'm still avoiding sugar and starch and using herbal supplements for treatment.

I believe both - a biopsy was done.

Thanks for your research, I really appreciate it! I did have a follow up endoscopy in January and the preforming GI doctor said the Celiac damage was completely healed and there is no inflammation.

What about the other way? I continue to have symptoms... could the elevated IgA be the cause for the ongoing symptoms, despite the gluten-free diet?
-
Thank you Russ, this is very helpful! Would you expect elevated levels to correlate with ongoing symptoms? IgA levels outside of normal range would imply an autoimmune response is still occurring on some level?
-
Thank you! I just cannot get a clear answer if it should be in normal range by now or not. I appreciate your input! I have been taking natural anti-fungals but I haven't done a prescription anti-fungal medication yet. I am currently considering it but hesitant because antibiotics we're given to me twice through this journey for dysbiosis, both...

Thanks, Scott. No, I never eat in restaurants and I haven't had dairy for over a year (severe intolerance).

Hi, Russ! The tTG IgA antibodies standard range is <15.0 U/ml. My last test (from this month) was 23.3. Prior tests: 12/29/22: 25.8. 11/1/22: 29.3 6/27/22: 54.9 1/3/22: 80.2 8/5/22: 536 **This was what lead to my diagnosis and was before going gluten free** Yes, I've tried low FODMAP for an extended period of time....

Hello! My tTg IgA antibody levels continue to be elevated despite being on a strict gluten free diet for almost 2 years (1 year 10 months). The iGg antibody levels have gone down to normal values but the IgA won't (this is for TTG only, not anti-gliadin antibodies). They are checked every 6 months, and they usually decrease a bit, but still not in normal...
