Antigliadin IgA

Antigliadin IgA identifies an immune response to gluten and can let you know if your pet is eating gluten. Gliadin is a component of gluten. Your pet can only have a reaction to gluten if they are eating gluten. A reaction to gluten may be a contributing factor to Leaky Gut, skin conditions, or other symptoms. Removing gluten can reduce Antigliadin IgA and Zonulin levels. Antigliadin IgA reactions are based on the level of gluten eaten. Fecal Antigliadin IgA testing is not used to diagnose gluten or wheat allergy, or celiac disease. 
 
Levels of Antigladin IgA

 

 

 

 

  • Normal: <750 ug/g
  • Borderline: 750-900 ug/g – Indicates a moderate reaction
  • High:  >900 ug/g – Highly reactive to gluten

 

 

 

 

  • Normal: <600 ug/g
  • Borderline: 600-1000 ug/g – Indicates a moderate reaction

Intestinal Antibody Response to Gluten

Continue with current diet and lifestyle, retest in one year

  • Try a gluten-free food and note a change in symptoms. (wheat, rye, and barley all contain gluten)
  • Research recommends that test diets be fed for at least 10 weeks
  • Monitor for intestinal permeability and increased Zonulin levels
  • Retest in 3 months
