About IBS Treatment Center
===========================
Dr. Stephen Wangen, co-founder and Medical Director of the IBS Treatment Center, and his staff have successfully helped over 10,000 people resolve irritable bowel syndrome and chronic digestive problems since 2005.
Some patients have had IBS symptoms so severe that they spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital. Others are suffering alone at home and are no less frustrated with the impact that it is having on their lives. The thread that tied them all together was that they had never seen an IBS expert (much different than a gastroenterologist), a doctor whose only mission is to help people solve IBS.
Patients work with us from around the country and the world via our telemedicine services. Get back your life! Work with us via telemedicine. Visit the IBS Specialists at ibstreatmentce...

Got tTg igA test negative; but symptoms got lowered when I stopped wheat related foods. Is it simple gluten intolerance or need HLA testing??

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

If you feel better when you stop eating those foods, then what difference does it make what the test results show?

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

@@udaybrar9710 HLA testing is not diagnostic for anything. It's only a risk factor.

​@@IBSTreatmentCenterbut it has high negative predictive value said say its definitely worth getting but a full panel of 2.5, 2.2, 7 and 8!

Since childhood i have gut isues and low energy, feel realy tired and anxiety.I tested for celiak and have negative test.Could gluten intolerance be responsible?

Hello Dr Wangen. My Gliadine IgG

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Hi Micki in Zurich. Good question. Not necessarily. You just want to be in the negative range. But it might go even lower after you've been off gluten for a few months. It will be interesting to see if that happens.

[@memoonasaeed4408]

Hi did u follow any protocol before going for test? My dr recommended me these two antibodies test

Hi sir

[@justinenavarro1650]

My son had very high levels of IgA but tested negative for celiac and wheat allergy. Is this a sign of gluten intolerance?

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Very high levels of IgA against what? Or was it just total IgA?

@@IBSTreatmentCenter on the celiac panel my Immunoglobulin A was higher thank normal , but the doc said is no big deal ? But ttg was negative

[@oliviamargrett7004]

Does this mean Igg and Iga has to be 0? When I tested the value was non zero.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Great question. They have to be below the reference range for a positive value, whatever that is on the lab report. It's not necessarily zero.

[@memoonasaeed4408]

No typical symptoms of celiac like diarrhea, so going for ttg igA /igG antibodies test is useless ? If i still don't know about sensitivity via these tests

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Half of all celiacs don't have symptoms.

[@memoonasaeed4408]

@@IBSTreatmentCenter so should i get this test done or just simply avoid gluten ? I do have subclinical hypothyroidism, acne, gut issues

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

@@memoonasaeed4408 It depends on what you need for motivation to do it. If you're willing to just avoid gluten, then that's all you need.

[@memoonasaeed4408]

@@IBSTreatmentCenter great can u please tell what protocol should be followed before going for these tests? If I'm taking 2 slices of whole wheat bread everyday is it fine or serving should be large?

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

@@memoonasaeed4408 That's probably enough.
