Quoted message said:Hi there everyone, I am hoping I can get some help.
I have recently been tested for coeliac disease by my doctor after
several years of ill-effects after eating, mostly related to
drowsiness.My results are now back and I wont be in to see my doctor for another
three weeks so I was hoping I could get a general feel for what the
results might mean.They are as follows.
------------snip-----------------------
Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg*) : 5 Units (0-20)
Gliadin IgG : 17 Units (0-20)
Gliadin IgA : 32 Units (0-15) *Result Interpretations
The tTg IgA is negative.
The Gliadin IgG is negative
The Gliadin IgA is strongly positive.* tTg has been identified as the epitope againt which endomysial
antibodies are directed.------------snip-----------------------
The doctor has said that these results are inconclusive and wants me
to wait another three months and take the test again.Can anyone please shed some light on these results. I thought that
Gliadin IGA antibodies meant that my body didn't like having gluten
fed to it???Could this be causing my symptoms?
I am trying to establish whether I should try a GF diet for a week or
two. It seems that when I try and restrict my diet , I get some very
unfortunate side effects. I get very fragile', depressed e.t.c its
kind of scary.Any help would be much appreciated.
