I had asked if anyone knew what my blood test results meant. They were:
IgA <4
IgG <43
Of the people who responded, none of them agreed on an interpretation, but
everyone agreed that I should ask my doctor (she says they are normal & she
has since quit) or the lab that did the work (their paperwork says this is
in the normal range).
I also asked if people felt I should go ahead and get a biopsy done. More
people said yes than no.
I have decided to find a new doctor and see if I can get a biopsy done to
get some definitive answers. I may also check with the lab that did the
original tests, because some of the people who responded felt that my
results indicated an IgA deficiency and a borderline celiac situation. My
guess is that the labs are using different scales for different tests (i.e.
a 4 reading at one lab is not the same as a 4 at another lab).
Anyway, thanks to everyone for the emotional support. I was really at a low
point and as always, you cheered me up with your concern.
Thanks a million,
