      Confused about test results

      Yes, I did read about the bloodwork diagnosis option and was given the choice for further bloodwork or proceeding with endoscopy. At this point we would like a definitive answer as it will be a lifelong diagnosis and we realize we would have to go back on gluten if we ever wanted endoscopy in the future. I was reading an article from a GI specialist that...

      Confused about test results

      Oats gluten free?

      The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal, although this may not be the case for everyone.

      Confused about test results

      Thank you very much for your response Scott. Apparently the second TTG Iga test was ten times the normal. I’m just surprised that there can be such a huge difference between the test results. It concerns me also that the lab has just recently changed their reporting. There are not really many/ any symptoms anymore. I was suspicious about celiac several y...
