Guest guest Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 My GI doctor expects my IGG/IGA levels to be at zero now that I've been gluten-free for four months now (they are currently both " equivocal, " which is basically the gray area between positive and negative). I've heard others say this normalization process can take up to a year. Just curious to hear what other people's doctors have told them?

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 My gastroenterologist said those numbers are highly variable and change even within the day. I was in the gray area too, after almost 7 years gluten free, but she said not to worry. Which makes me curious: how many of you out there have completely normal IGG/IGA levels after being gluten free for a period of time? P.S. I just got my blood checked again an am curious to see the results. --lp ________________________________________ From: [ ] On Behalf Of tunibell [jessika.welcome@...] Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 3:34 PM Subject: [ ] IGG/IGA Normalization My GI doctor expects my IGG/IGA levels to be at zero now that I've been gluten-free for four months now (they are currently both " equivocal, " which is basically the gray area between positive and negative).

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 It took a year of a very strict diet for our daughter to reach a level of 7. At 6 months she was at 28. Her original number was > 100, so possibly the amount of time it takes will depend upon how elevated the antibodies were to begin with.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 My son was "normal (negative" after 4 months, and every time since then. Which makes me curious: how many of you out there have completely normal IGG/IGA levels after being gluten free for a period of time?.
