My son has been having stomach aches, particularly after eating frozen pizza.  The doctor at his college health center
did blood work with the only celiac screening test being tTG IgG.  This seemed unusual to me and I was wondering if
anyone knows how reliable it is for someone who isn't IgA deficient and as the only screening test.

Thanks in advance for any responses and I will summarize.
