Default Help with Gluten sensitivity test result

Hi

I recently had tests done to determine if I am sensitive to gluten. I have ulcerative colitis and struggling with my diet.
The results from the tests are as follows:

> TTG IgA 0.70 0.00-10.0 U/mL
TTG IgA is the most sensitive and specific test for Celiac
disease (Gluten sensitivity). If there is still a high
degree of clinical suspicion in this patient, please exclude
IgA deficiency. In IgA deficient patients TTG IgG should be
done. The antigliadin and anti-endomycium antibodies
are also available if further testing is required.

I also had test results for other food groups, but not exactly sure what they mean. Results are as follows:

(A) Paediatric Mix (Egg White, Milk, Cod Fish, Wheat, Peanut & Soya):
- 2.23 (H) 0.00 - 0.35
- Weak Positive Class (2) 0.7 - 3.49
(B) Cereal Mix (Wheat, Oat, Maize, Sesame Seed, Buckwheat):
- 3.52 (H) 0.00 - 0.35
- Positive Class (3) 3.50 - 17.49
(C) Nut Mix (Peanut, Hazel Nut, Brazil Nut, Almond, Coconut):
- 3.73 (H) 0.00 - 0.35
- Positive Class (3) 3.50 - 17.49

Is it advisable to go for further tests to establish which of the various foods I am allergic to?

Any assistance in interpreting the above results would be helpful :-)

Thanks
Jamie
