I found this:

"Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) have lost much of their diagnostic significance in recent years, due to the introduction of the more sensitive and specific anti-transglutaminase test.

However, recent ELISA tests that use a coating consisting solely of synthetic gliadin peptides show excellent diagnostic accuracy, comparable to those of the anti-transglutaminase test.

AGA determination remains useful for diagnostic purposes in patients under 5 years old, as anti-transglutaminase antibodies only appear at an older age.

Positivity for AGA IgG can also be important in patients with an IgA deficiency, in whom it may be the only positive serological marker (in association with anti-tTG IgG)."

If you want to know if you have celiac disease, i think more auxiliary tests need to be done. But for me i discovered that the problem, might be the Lyme infection.

Besides the blood tests, I made a biopsy from small bowel lining and it detected Marsh Oberhuber Type i, and i went on to free gluten diet 10 years ago, but since 2018 when i discovered i had lyme disease, the GI symptoms and gluten reactivity are probably caused by the infection itself, so with treatment i hope to end this gluten sensivity. Lyme and bartonella can bring up this autoimmune diseases. If you check on the stanford medicine site it states that if a biopsy is diagnosed with Marsh Oberhuber Type i, my case, it says "may be seen in infections". So no matter if i made diet or not, the gluten sensitivity will never stop until i eradicate my Lyme Disease. I am on treatment since 2018.

When my son was diagnosed with celiac disease - the test used was

Anti-tissue Transglutaminase Antibody tTG

If you’re wondering if you have an intolerance to gluten - that’s a good test to have done

the test result is in the "Normal Range"

so this means you are unlikely to have frank celiac disease - that's good

however - if you have chronic lyme - you have a compromised immune system - and treatment includes many modalities to try to reduce as many loads on your system (especially your immune system) - as possible - so it can focus on the main job in hand - clearing the infection.

in this context it makes a lot of sense to remove Gluten from the diet - as its one less thing for your body to have to deal with. the less other stuff your immune system has to deal with the better chance it has of clearing the Lyme.

its not very hard to do once you get your head around it - and its mainly just eating foods that are whole and not processed before you get them - which is a great start to a general plan for healthy eating - no matter what school you follow.

“ I found more and after i read this information i think you should not be worried about it, unless you have physical reactions while on normal gluten diet, bread, cakes, so many things, almost everything as gluten “

The symptoms can be subtle.
Took too long to get our son diagnosed. He didn’t get any physical symptoms after eating gluten.
But he had low ferritin and hemoglobin numbers.
He did have constipation as well.
