what is treatment for IgA deficient?
I had an IGA of 69. Is that the same as Celiac? I have been on a gluten free diet and had improvement but still sick. Are there some medications or a transfusion I can take?
Thanks for any help |

If you are talking about anti-tTG IgA... having those antibodies is 95% predictive of celiac disease. Doctors are only really concerned about IgA deficiency if you are extremely low (like < 7). Then it is called total IgA deficiency and the main concern I have found is it could cause problems if you ever needed a transfusion. But, this is only a problem in people who have extremely low (<7) or absent IgA. People with IgA deficiency are more prone to infections and food sensitivity. Here are some articles about it... http://www.primaryimmune.org/publica...ats/e_ch04.pdf http://cvi.asm.org/cgi/content/full/9/6/1295 My daughter has slightly below range IgA. She also has gluten/casein sensitivity, and more than her fair share of upper respiratory infections and UTI's. |
