With that being said, some labs have eliminated the Antigliadin IgG and IgA. I don't know if this has happened in the US but it has happened in New Zealand

Last time I checked I think Prometheus still included the antigliadin antibodies in their "celiac panel".
This is what we are working against
. Recommendations that call only for a anti-tTG ...out of one of the major celiac centers.

I'll post back when I find the current Prometheus Lab celiac panel... hope it hasn't changed.
Here it is...I'd settle for the 5-marker panel from Prometheus Labs~ March 06
