HI,
So glad I found this site.
I'll keep the story short. My daughter is 18, I am 47. We are both ceilac.
I was non-symptomatic (sp) but my numbers were off the charts when I was tested. The nurse could not understand why I was not pratically comatose.
My daughter was tested because it's heriditary and because of stomach issues, and she is celiac too and feels much better.
My son is 15 and was tested 5 years ago also and was negative. Lately he's been super tired, falling asleep in class and such. No other symptions. His test came back positive but his Dr. is a little on the fence as to weather or not he NEEDS to go GF and that is what has me confused.
Test resutls are:
transglutaminase ab iga.... 10 u/ml <4 is the goal.
Immunoglobulin 217mg/dl.................normal is 57-300.
endomysial antibody SCR ...positive.
Endomysial antibody tither 1:40 ....................<1.5 is normal.
Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it/
