Anti-gliadin IgG

check icon Optimal Result: 0 - 25 units/ml.

Anti-gliadin IgG is an antibody that the immune system produces in response to gliadin, a component of gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye. When someone with a sensitivity to gluten consumes these grains, their immune system may mistakenly identify gliadin as a harmful substance and produce Anti-gliadin IgG to attack it. This reaction is often seen in individuals with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. However, Anti-gliadin IgG can also be present in non-celiac gluten sensitivity, where people experience symptoms similar to celiac disease but without the associated intestinal damage. Testing for Anti-gliadin IgG can help doctors diagnose these conditions by identifying an immune response to gluten. Elevated levels of Anti-gliadin IgG indicate that the body is reacting to gliadin, which suggests that gluten might be causing health problems. However, it's important to note that this test alone is not definitive for celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. It is usually part of a broader diagnostic process that includes other tests and clinical evaluations to confirm the presence of these conditions. Understanding and identifying Anti-gliadin IgG levels can be crucial for managing symptoms and guiding dietary changes to improve the quality of life for those affected by gluten-related disorders.

What does it mean if your Anti-gliadin IgG result is too high?

Elevated levels of Anti-gliadin IgG signify that the body is having an immune response to gliadin, a component of gluten. This elevation can indicate a few potential conditions:

  1. Celiac Disease: In people with celiac disease, the immune system reacts strongly to gluten, causing damage to the lining of the small intestine. Elevated Anti-gliadin IgG levels are one of the markers used to diagnose this autoimmune disorder. However, other tests, including a biopsy of the small intestine, are needed to confirm the diagnosis.

  2. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): Some individuals experience symptoms similar to those of celiac disease, such as digestive discomfort, fatigue, and headaches, but without the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. Elevated Anti-gliadin IgG levels in these cases suggest that the immune system is responding to gluten, even though it does not lead to the same level of intestinal damage as in celiac disease.

  3. Wheat Allergy: Although less common, elevated Anti-gliadin IgG can sometimes be associated with wheat allergies. In such cases, the immune response is part of an allergic reaction rather than an autoimmune or sensitivity reaction.

  4. Other Conditions: Occasionally, elevated Anti-gliadin IgG levels can be seen in other autoimmune disorders or inflammatory conditions, though this is less specific and usually not the primary cause of elevated levels.

It's important to note that while elevated Anti-gliadin IgG levels indicate an immune response to gluten, they are not definitive on their own for diagnosing celiac disease or NCGS. These levels should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical findings and diagnostic tests to get a comprehensive understanding of the individual's condition.

What Healthmatters Members Are Saying

5 stars rating

I have been using Healthmatters.io since 2021. I travel all over the world and use different doctors and health facilities. This site has allowed me to consolidate all my various test results over 14 years in one place. And every doctor that I show this to has been impressed. Because with  any health professional I talk to, I can pull up historical results in seconds. It is invaluable. Even going back to the same doctor, they usually do not have the historical results from their facility in a graph format. That has been very helpful.
