Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I have recently gotten a positive iga-ttg lab results. My level came in at 251. I have been trying to look on the internet about how that # compares to either normal or other celiacs but I can't find a website that give any #'s. Do you know anything about the levels? > > Gosh, all the answers are coming in at the same time! Enterolab results > arrived today!

But, even if it is a low positive, if you are > positive - you have CD. re TTG - Wow, I didn't know that... that the low positive numbers could mean less damage done at the time the test was done. Cool. That could very easily explain why I was so sick, positive TTG, negative biopsy, negative biopsy on 2nd opinion, gluten-free, TTG gone down to zero. Finding celiac when my TTG was still a low positive can explain why I feel like the luckiest celiac in the history of humankind. My celiac was caught before damage was done.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 That makes alot of sense!! I just thought with a level that high maybe it could have been wrong.....but I guess not. Thanks alot for your information. I'm just trying to learn as much as possible right now!! mandy > > > > Gosh, all the answers are coming in at the same time! > Enterolab results > > arrived today!
