Low IgA, dr won’t test IgG
Runningyogi replied to Runningyogi's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yeah sorry wasn’t trying to insinuate that the link was wrong. Also, i don’t have any strong feelings that I have celiac. I don’t know WHAT I have unfortunately! I was just trying to rule it out and then I had the low IgA which led to me to researching that and I was curious if that was indicative of something yadda yadda...I fell down an Internet rabbit hole.... -

I suffered from low iron for a few years but then had an IUD placed and my iron levels have been normal since. No other autoimmune that I know of. Just a long history of IBS. Thanks for your help! -
