--the IgA figure is for TOTAL IgA, that is well within reference range, and therefore the IgA transglutaminase figure of 3 is low and not an immediate indicator of celiac.
The tranglutaminase IgA is the blood test most closely associated with villous damage of frank celiac, but did they also test you for the IgA and IgG anti-gliadin antibodies (which are measures that are more sensitive, but less specific, and often will show in those with gluten sensitivity that is not, or at least not yet, causing noticeable intestinal damage)? |

You can also ask your doctor to run the genetic test, if you haven't already. It is usually not covered by insurance but it helped confirm my dx. Good luck!

that particular test is neg, however doesn't mean you don't have celiac.

Are you speaking of anti-gliadin IgG/IgA, anti=transglutaminase IgG/IgA, or total IgG/IgA?
Anti-gliadin IgG is often the first test to go outside the range with gluten sensitivity, but it's also the least specific test for celiac among those in a standard gluten panel. The anti-transglutaminase IgA is generally the one most correlated with actual intestinal damage, but even that one is negative in around 20 percent of those people who actually show confirmed villious damage on endoscopy. |

I have Celiac Disease & Hypothyroidism and have been gluten free for about 3 months. I had some tests ran and was wondering if someone could explain to me the results.

--for the ferritin, iron binding capacity and Vitamin D, it's not easy . . .
Fortunately, I am familiar with the general reference ranges for these tests, and can say that the ferritin result depends on gender; if you are male that results is fairly well within range, but it female it is a little high. Similarly, your iron levels are pretty mid range, but the total iron binding capacity is very near the upper end of "normal" range, and the transferrin saturation is near the lower end of normal, especially, again, if you are male. This implies there is sufficient iron available but it is not being absorbed as efficiently as it could be. You vitamin D levels would be considered low, and, of course, the anti-transglutaminase igA antibody levels are consistent with celiac disease. The TSH is pretty much normal, but it would be more interesting if you had other TSH levels from the past to compare it with, to see if it has been gradually rising/falling or been pretty consistent. |

Thanks, I am actually at female. I have had issues for years with my iron being low. I have been taking iron vitamins well over a year. I am starting vitamin d3 per my doctor. Even though I have been gluten free for 3 months I still sluggish. And was wondering how long it will take before I start feeling better. |
