Serology test - IgA +ve but not IgG
Posted: Wed Sep 01, 2021 11:00 pm
I have been having wierd gi symptoms for the last 3 months
June 1st two days of diarrhea.
This was followed by excessive burping, extreme bloating, and overnight intolerance to food I ate daily due to extreme gas and flatulence.
Another symptom i had was complete lack of hunger despite not eating. Usually in morning when I wake up, I am hungry.
Over the next month the symptoms waxed and waned belching, flatulence, bloating, anorexia, diarrhea and constipation. All the basic blood work up back negative besides H pylori IgA serology being positive. So i followed this up with a stool antigen test which came back negative, and a breath test which also came back negative.
OVer the next 2 months the symptoms have been all over the place. I have done extensive stool and blood testing that is coming back negative.
I am obviously going to pursue endoscopy. but I wanted to know from the experience people, if I should make anythng of the positive serology? or just chalk it up to prior infection or encounter.
