Table 1 AGA IgG in NCGS and CD related to compliance to the GFD and clinical picture

44 NCGS patients (all with AGA IgG when untreated) after 6-months-GFD	Good response to GFD 39 /44		Mild response to GFD 5/44
Compliance	AGA IgG +	AGA IgG-	AGA IgG +	AGA IgG-
Strict 41/44	0	38	1	2
Low 3/44	0	1	2	0
40 CD patients (all with AGA IgG on a gluten containing diet) after 6-months-GFD	Good response to GFD 30/40		Mild response to GFD 10/40
Compliance	AGA IgG+	AGA IgG-	AGA IgG +	AGA IgG-
Strict 32/40	11	14	2	5
Low 8/40	2	3	1	2

AGA IgG in NCGS patients with low compliance vs. AGA IgG in NCGS patients with strict compliance, P = 0.009; AGA IgG in NCGS patients with mild response to GFD vs IgG AGA in NCGS patients with good response to GFD. NCGS, P = 0.00075. Two tailed Fisher’s exact test.
AGA IgG in CD patients with low compliance vs. AGA IgG in CD patients with strict compliance, P = NS; AGA IgG in CD patients with mild response to GFD vs AGA IgG in CD patients with good response to GFD, P = NS. Two tailed Fisher’s exact test.
