Celiac antibodies never negative
I've celiac disease since 2014, I'm on gluten free diet but somehow TTG never comes negative, when it comes to normal range, it increases, I've fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, migraine, and postural tachycardia syndrome. Last time I went for test, TTG was 23, now today its 28 and I didn't eat gluten from any source, also my muscle pain is so worse and fibromyalgia's medicines aren't working on it. Could postive TTG mean any other autoimmune condition except celiac disease? Or any reason why it never comes negative?

Titers within normal range means you are not exposed to gluten any form,and disease is in remission,Even 20 ppm glueten can elevated ttg titers,mean chunk or bite of bread is enough.So be aware of hidden gluten products even tooth paste you are using.
