One of my sons had his two children tested for CD. This is the results of one
of them. He wants to know what this means. Dr. Fine said she does not have
Celiac disease but interpreted it that she does have the genes, but does not
have any damage to her intestines, is sensitive to casein How high do the
numbers have to be for the gluten sensitivity? Below is the report.
Gluten Sensitivity Stool Test
Fecal Antigliadin IgA 56 Units (Normal Range <10 Units*)???
Stool Test for Autoimmune Reaction to Tissue Transglutaminase
Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 24 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)
???
Stool Test for Small Intestinal Malabsorption
Microscopic Fecal Fat Score: 21 Units (Normal Range < 300 Units)
Stool Test for Milk Sensitivity
Fecal anti-casein IgA antibody 24 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)
Gene Test for Gluten Sensitivity
Molecular analysis: HLA-DQB1*0501, 0301
Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 1,3 (Subtype 5,7)
Thank you so much for your help. I am one of the celiacs that went around 18
yrs undiagnosed. It took an allergist 29 yrs ago to recognize what I have.
