"Your doctor needs to run the anti-gliadin test for dietary compliance and not use the tTg IgA because the tTg can be elevated due to other autoimmune issues. His diabetes may be keeping the level higher, along with other ones like Hashi's thyroid disease or liver disease.  I am not saying your son has either one but from my experience, having multiple autoimmune issues will keep tTg levels higher, at first.  Doctors make this mistake all the time and I still can't figure out what they don't get! \n \nI have 4 autoimmune diseases myself and even though my other blood work came down to a great level after healing, my tTg stayed in the high normal range \nfor awhile after diagnosis.  It was driving me crazy because I knew I was not ingesting any gluten. It's too easy to blame it on that. It took a couple of years for all the inflammation to calm down and now my tTg is very low...but it took awhile. I would also look into the possibility that he has another autoimmune issue related to Celiac. I know you don't want to hear that but it's a possibility.  \n \nGood luck! \n"
