B) Gluten sensitivity Stool Panel Complete
Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 16 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-tissue Transglutaminase IgA 10 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score 337 Units (Normal Range is less than 300 Units)

Interpretation of Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA: Intestinal antigliadin IgA antibody was elevated, indicating that you have active dietary gluten sensitivity. For optimal health, resolution of symptoms (if you have them), and prevention of small intestinal damage and malnutrition, osteoporosis, and damage to other tissues (like nerves, brain, joints, muscles, thyroid, pancreas, other glands, skin, liver, spleen, among others), it is recommended that you follow a strict and permanent gluten free diet. As gluten sensitivity is a genetic syndrome, you may want to have your relatives screened as well.

Interpretation of Fecal Anti-tissue Transglutaminase IgA: You have an autoimmune reaction to the human enzyme tissue transglutaminase, secondary to dietary gluten sensitivity.

Interpretation of Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score: A fecal fat score greater than or equal to 300 Units indicates there is an increased amount of dietary fat in the stool which usually is due to gluten-induced small intestinal malabsorption/damage when associated with gluten sensitivity. Values between 300-600 Units are mild elevations, 600-1000 Units moderate elevations, and values greater than 1000 Units are severe elevations. Any elevated fecal fat value should be rechecked in one year after treatment to ensure that it does not persist because chronic fat malabsorption is associated with osteoporosis among other nutritional deficiency syndromes.


Glentaj.. i checked and no they have not checked my light chains. Iga, igg, ige are elevated.

I am not congratulating you for have Gluten issues, but for having found a likely answer for your problems. You were persistant and it paid off!

I was never offered a fecal test........
