Hi,
I just received the following note and results regarding my child's
celiac panel results. Is it true that there is no significance to
these results and that they are in fact negative?
The provider says:
"...You will see an elevated level on one of the tests but this has
no significance as the best test for ruling out Celiac is the IGA
study for both serum and tissue markers and his are negative. The IGG
is usually elevated in most people which is of no clinical
significance. Based on these results he does not have gluten
sensitivity..."
