Selective IgA Deficiency

[@spetznaz14]

I have sIGA (0.4), I have had chronic minor/moderate GI issues for as long as I remember, about a year ago I developed joint issues, I am still fighting to get diagnosed with anything, I suspect some form of UCTD which hopefully doesn't progress to a full CTD, many doctors seem to know little about the link with auto-immune disease with immunodefficiency (in the UK). I would just be wary from my experience, of saying 90+% of people don't have ANY symptoms, I suspect there are a fair number who have chronic 'low level' symptons that MD's do not diagnose as being a reconginsed medical condition, in effect people like myself stuck in no man's land without a diagnosis but experiencing some issues that may be linked to immune system misfunction.

Interesting. I went to the gastroenterologist for chronic GI issues and that's where we discovered my IgA levels were low. I'm waiting on my appointment with immunology to investigate my IgA levels further. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's dealing with this!

In exactly the same position as you unfortunately , maybe we could have a chat as I'm banging my head against a brick wall trying to get answers from Drs in the UK who appear to have no clue about this condition

Great information but should have held the questions till the end. Too many off topic questions addressed.

I have been diagnosed with seronegative celiac disease with a total Marsh atrophy. I always had my iga around 1,4 but when i got covid it increased by 4.. why?

[@phitome2816]

because it had to be risen for fighting of the disease. That's a good thing, I think
