Is it req. the DGP test in 10 m infant

2025-08-04 14:13:56
My baby is experiencing slow weight gain. We conducted a TTG IgA test, which showed a result of 0.67, and the serum IgA result is 33. Given these results, is there a possibility of celiac disease? Should we proceed with a DGP antibody test for further evaluation? Is IGA level normal for my baby?

Your child is too young to be tested for celiac disease, unless it is showing symptoms which are very suggestive of the disease. So it is best to rule out other common conditions for failure to gain weight.
Next Steps
optimization of the diet would be the first step. look for any food allergies and avoid it
