A biopsy last August showed that I probably have Celiac Sprue.  However,
I have not improved in the 8 gluten-free months that have followed, and
a gastroenterologist ordered Immunoglobulen blood tests (in addition to
a CT scan and a follow-up biopsy in three weeks) to check for what else
might be going on.  I can't get his office to give me any interpretation of
the results; I suppose he's waiting for the biopsy.  But in the mean time
I would very much like to know whether the following results support a
diagnosis of celiac sprue, or suggest that something else is going on:

IgG 3268 (normal 700 - 1600)
IgA 15 (normal 70 - 400)
IgM 4 (normal 40 - 230)
IgE 2 (normal - 48)

Gastrin Serum 89 (normal 25 - 111)

I would be grateful for any interpretation.
