Gliadin Peptides IgG - 109 (normal range: 0-25 RU/ml)
I was also tested for Intrinsic Factor antibodies and Parietal Cell antibodies (to test for pernicious anaemia, a cause of B12 deficiency) but was negative for both.
My doctor told me that the tests rule out celiac disease. He couldn't offer any explanation for why my Gliadin Peptides IgG result was so high - more than four times the upper normal range.
I don't know how normal or otherwise it is to have a very elevated Gliadin IgG result with a normal Gliadin IgA result, but I'd welcome any information on what this may mean.
Thanks.

if they didnt test for total IgA, they may have missed that you are genetically unable to make that particular antibody in normal amounts....either get tested for that or try the gluten free diet.....in asia this should be reasonablly simple, yes?
