Anti-Gliadin IgG
What's
Anti-Gliadin IgG
?
Anti-Gliadin IgG is a special type of protein created by your body's defense system to fight against gliadin, a part of gluten found in wheat and some other grains. This protein acts like a bodyguard, spotting and neutralizing gliadin to keep your body safe from harm. By checking for Anti-Gliadin IgG in your blood, we can learn how your body is dealing with gluten, giving us important information about how your immune system reacts to certain foods. Think of it as a detective inside your body, keeping a close watch on how your system interacts with gluten.
If Your Levels Are High
Elevated levels of Anti-Gliadin IgG might mean that your body is reacting to gluten found in foods like wheat and other grains. This can happen when your immune system is more sensitive to gluten, which could be a sign of non-celiac gluten sensitivity or, in some cases, celiac disease. Sometimes, things like stress or certain medications, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, can also affect these levels. Keep in mind that everyone's body is different, so this is just a general explanation of what high levels could mean for you.
Symptoms of High Levels
Symptoms of high levels of Anti-Gliadin IgG could include digestive issues such as bloating, diarrhea, or constipation, fatigue, headaches, joint or muscle pain, and skin issues like rashes or eczema.
If Your Levels are Low
Low levels of Anti-Gliadin IgG might mean that your body isn't reacting strongly to gluten. This could be because you're eating little or no gluten, so your immune system doesn't have much gliadin to respond to. It could also mean that your immune system isn't identifying gliadin as something it needs to fight, which might be a sign that your immune system isn't as active as it should be. Certain medications, like immunosuppressants, could also play a role in causing lower levels of Anti-Gliadin IgG.
Symptoms of Low Levels
Symptoms of low levels of Anti-Gliadin IgG are typically absent, as this condition often does not present any noticeable signs.

Celiac & Gluten Sensitivity
by
Doctor's Data
Blood Spot
The Celiac & Gluten Sensitivity profile helps differentiate between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity by evaluating the serum titers of IgA and IgG for deamidated gliadin peptide, gliadin, and gluten. This is the blood spot version of the test. It is also available as a serum test.
