Help interpreting Celiac test results
 
I recently had some of the Celiac tests taken as I have been having GI issues and my Aunt and cousin(both blood related) have Celiac Disease. I don't really know how to interperet the results. The nurse simply told me, "negative" over the phone and didn't offer any explination. Here are my results.
Immunoglobulin A: 210.00 Reference(68-378)
Tissue Transglutaminase IGG: Test not performed
Tissue Transglutaminase IGA: 5 Reference(0-19 units)
Gliadin Peptide AB, Iga: 4 Reference(0-19units)
Liver Panel
ALT/SGPT: 90 Reference(12-78)

(P.S. I do not drink alcohal at all, I did not take tylenol or ibprofin before the test and I did not work out heavily before the test. They told me that could be the reason for the liver tests)

Well, so far--
 
--there is no "smoking gun" as far as celiac goes, but that doesn't necessarily rule out gluten sensitivity or even celiac; as many as 20% of proven celiacs on intestinal biopsy test negative on the serologic assays.

They probably should have done separate anti-gliadin IgG and IgA tests, though--often an isolated positive on the anti-gliadin IgG can point to a gluten sensitivity with our without gastrointestinal symptoms.

Were there any other liver tests with out of range results? There are a lot of other reasons for a slightly elevated ALT/SGPT:
