Sorry just saw this reply for some reason! No haven’t taken these medications.I am assuming you re asking because they can alter blood tests,correct?

Hello, I have read these articles.that is why I mentioned the DQ 7,because I had seen this research in southern Italy. As far as ttg igg goes the sensitivity is to know if you have the disease and specificity to rule it out. it all is a bit perplexing but again I think gluten-free diet is the way to go when in doubt. I ve...

👍that’s what o thought. So according to this article 85%-98% of people with positive ttg igg have celiac.I find that to be a pretty high percentage to be ignored if one has a positive test like that.Yet the doctors I have been to claim that probability is low or non existent for celiac with just ttg igg positive. don’t know what to think ...

I have read this before.not sure though that the last 2 paragraphs are referred to individuals with total iga deficiency or not: “The sensitivity of the tTG-IgG blood test is generally high, ranging from 85% to 98%. This means that the test can accurately detect celiac disease in a significant percentage of people who have the condition. The s...

It would be yes but I don’t want to go back on gluten.At least for the time being.I guess it means that something was bothering me and it has been removed.Also from what I understand igg ttg is related mostly to gluten than other foods

Hello All, just an update....and a question. If you scroll up to the original post my initial question was about a TTG IGG positive result with everything else within the normal range. Update: After 2 1/2 months on a strict gluten free diet(actually went on the AIP diet) I re-tested for the TTG IGG and it came back within normal levels.3.8...

Thanks 👍

As I see the t comes down to a matter of opinion(doctors and patients).I guess going gluten free and monitoring is the best option👍

I have half of the DQ2 gene.And the lab gives the percentage of 1:1842 and refers to it as extremely low chance. i have some symptoms.That’s why I looked into this in the first place.But there are a lot of heat areas as far as being sure about celiac as I ve learned.Also doctors between them seem to disagree some times. thanks again for t...

Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the responses! not confusing Ttg-iga with Ttg-igg. i am specifically talking about a positive Ttg-igg with normal Ttg-iga and no total Iga deficiency. this is the quote Scott posted: “The sensitivity of the tTG-IgG blood test is generally high, ranging from 85% to 98%. This means that the test can accurately detect celiac d...

Hello All!To begin with I would like to start by thanking this community for all the information and support. I ve read many times in this forum that a TTG-IGG positive test alone is enough to diagnose celiac.even though doctors and other websites say differently. A few months ago while I was eating gluten I had the blood work done and all was...
