GF Diet and blood serum levels in the first year after diagnosis

[Guest guest]

I recently read a very good article in the journal " Digestive and Liver Disease "

titled " Dynamics of celiac disease - speci & #64257;c serology after initiation of

a gluten-free diet and use in the assessment of compliance with treatment. " It

followed 82 subjects with diagnosed celiac disease and measured their blood

serum levels for eight different assays at baseline and every three months for a

year. I

I personally found it fascinating that at one year post-diagnosis, 61% of the

subjects still had positive TTG IGA levels. My TTG IGA was still weakly positive

at 6 months post-GF, and my GI felt that this suggested I was still ingesting

gluten (I'm not).

I'd be happy to post a copy to the files if people are interested in reading the

study.
