Were there any other celiac antibody tests run besides the tTG-IGA? If not, I would certainly press for a more comprehensive celiac panel. You could be low in total IGA which would drive individual celiac antibody test scores down toward the negative range. If I were you, I'd go back to your physician and ask for these additional tests to be run: 1....
