Ok, so my youngest (6 year old) has already tested positive through blood work and we go for his endoscopy on the 19th. I don't have copies of his blood work results as they are with the docs in Madison and I didn't think to get them when we were down there last time.
Now. I have had everyone in the house go in for blood work. Myself, my husband, 18 year old daughter and 15 year old son. I went in today to the same lab tech that took my older kids' blood on Wednesday...2 days ago. I asked her when I could expect the results from the blood work and she told me by Wednesday for mine (granted I had a little more done than the kids as they are also running lipids and stuff for my thyroid) and that the kids' would probably be back on Monday as they had to be sent out to Marshfield.
Well...we went also for little guy's pre op appointment so I spoke with the pediatrician. At the end of the appointment he lets me know that the older two's labs came back and they are both negative. Huh. That was pretty quick considering what I had just been told and the fact that my husband's hasn't come back yet and he did his a week ago.
Now...here are my questions....I'll type out the results exactly as they appear on the page. It doesn't even seem like they ran the right tests....aside from the TTG...though maybe it's just that they didn't run a complete test? I don't know...I don't even know what I'm looking at...so here it is:
For my 15 year old son:
Tests: (1) Immunoglobulin A # (2458-8)
OBSERVATION VALUE EXPECTED
IGA 147 mg/dL 66-436
Tests: (2) TIS.TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGA AB (L.TGAA)
OBSERVATION VALUE EXPECTED
TTG IGA AB <1.2 U/mL 0.0-3.9
For my 18 year old daughter:
Tests: (1) IMMUNOGLOBULIN A # (2458-8)
OBSERVATION VALUE EXPECTED
IGA 289 mg/dL 66-436
Tests: (2) TIS.TRASGLUTAMINASE IGA AB (L.TGAA)
OBSERVATION VALUE EXPECTED
TTG IGA AB <1.2 U/mL 0.0-3.9
Both of these labs were done at the local hospital under MEDITECHLAB if that makes any difference. I am going to bring these results with me to the GI when we go down on Wednesday to see what she says. I may need to find a new pediatrician as I think I've lost all faith in the one I have. 
*sigh* Maybe I'll just move them all over to my doctor since she's family practice. At least she understand what it means to be gluten free as she is herself.
Any thoughts on those test results would be most appreciated thank you!
