could you tell me if elevated gliadin (deanimated) antibodies igg and iga mean zi have a gluten sensitivity?

Question

Do elevated gliadin antibodies IgG and IgA mean gluten sensitivity?

Answer 1

Possibly: These are pretty specific to Celiac disease but not perfect. The definitive test is biopsy while on a gluten containing diet. A GI specialist could offer this.

Answer 2

Immunity: Having IgG antibody to rubella indicates that you have developed immunity to the virus either through prior exposure or vaccination.

Answer 3

+ IgG for Rubella: A + IgG for rubella virus means that you've either had a previous viral infection or that you have been immunized against the virus. In either case you have developed immunity to this particular virus, and being exposed the virus in a future pregnancy should not provide a risk to you baby. Rubella in pregnancy poses a significant risk to the fetus in early pregnancy.

Answer 4

You Are Immune: Igg is the long term antibody that protects you against bacteria and viruses. If you are IgG positive, you protected from getting a rubella infection.

Answer 5

Immune: You have immunity to rubella most likely because of a vaccine you received as a child. Therefore, you cannot get rubella which can cause serious problems for the fetus.

Answer 6

Yes: Celiac disease (celiac sprue, gluten allergy) is a strong allergic reaction to gluten, a protein seen in grains such as wheat, rye, barley, etc... Technically speaking, the reaction is not a typical food allergy reaction, but is an abnormal immune system reaction that causes inflammation and damage to the lining of one's own small intestine.

Answer 7

NO: Celiac disease is not a food allergy. Food allergy is an ige ( allergy antibody ) medicated reaction. These reactions (ige) typically result in rash, hives, lip tongue swelling, shortness of breath, passing out and rarely death. Celiac disease or gluten sensitive enteropathy is not an ige mediated reaction to gluten -- it is IgG mediated. This is a very important distinction.

Answer 8

Celiac disease aller: No it is not correct, it is not allergy in true sense.It is an auto immune disease of the small bowel that occurs in some people from infancy to adulthood.When patients are exposed toglidin a gluten protein found in wheat, barley and rye tissue transglutinase enzyme modifies the protein and immune system cross reacts with small bowel causing inflammation, that causes atrophy of villi lining small bow.

Answer 9

Food malabsorption: Celiac disease leads to inflammation and damage of the lining of the small intestine, which causes decreased absorption of nutrients, vitamins, iron, etc... The intestinal lining loses its microscopic "villi", which are tiny protrusions that maximize the absorptive surface area needed to absorb nutrients. A patient gets diarrhea, anemia, lactose intolerance, tummy aches, irritable bowels, etc...

Answer 10

Celiac: Celiac is a loss of the enzymes that break down gluten. Over time there can be inflammation and irritation to the lining of the small bowel but this is minor especially if gluten is avoided.

Answer 11

Recheck diagnosis: If a person with celiac disease does not get well on a gluten-free diet, his doctors can re-evaluate to see if he truly has celiac disease, if his diet is really completely gluten-free, or if he has a second problem causing the symptoms that were believed to be caused by celiac disease.

Answer 12

Avoid casein too: Must also avoid casein. There is cross reactivity. Could also be other food sensitivities. Also prescription meds can contain gluten.

Answer 13

Yes: Diarrhea can be a symptom of gluten-sensitive enteropathy (celiac disease), but this is not a true allergy. In celiac disease, gluten (which is a component of wheat protein) causes damage to the lining of the small intestine, resulting in diarrhea, flatulence, bloating, vitamin- and iron-deficiency, anemia, and other problems. Some celiac patients do not have diarrhea. A blood test can diagnose it.

Answer 14

It's Possible: It's surely a common complaint of the food allergic patient.
