  • my Immunoglobulin A is <4 and it should be between 81- 463. Does that mean i have a sensitivity?

    You could have a sensitivity and/or you could have an immunoglobulin A deficiency, with or without celiac/gluten sensitivity.

  • ok, im confused. Are there 3 different types of bloodtest for Gluten-intolerance?

    First thing is the biopsy you mentioned, which isnt a bloodtest, then you mentioned the endomycial antibody bloodtest and the tissue gluaminase antibody blood test.

    Then after that you said the next thing was the salivary and other blood test, im confused, what is the other blood test?
