hi, welcome to hcm. Can understand your concern.
As per the report that you have written, anti gliadin IgG is weakly positive, this suggest that your child might have celiac disease.
In celiac disease, there is allergy to wheat and it should be avoided lifelong.
However, to confirm diagnosis we need to do intestinal biopsy. Kindly do intestinal biopsy test to confirm diagnosis.
I hope this helps. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
