Default There is evidence--

--which JCC has accumulated in The Gluten File (easily Googled, and also linkable through our own Gluten Sensitivity/Celiac forum here) that doctors should not necessarily be dismissing an isolated anti-gliadin IgG elevation.

While this is the least specific celiac test, it is the most sensitive, and according to the work of Dr. Hadjivassiliou in Europe, it is often associated with neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity, such as neuropathy and gluten ataxia, and it may be more associated with another genetic subtype--HLA-DQ1--than gastrointestianl manifestations of gluten sensitivity, which is more closely associated with genetic subtypes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8.
