Could someone help me understand my test, please?

I want some idea about why all celiac test results that I made were negative, more the one that tested positive was the anti-endomysium igm.

Result anti-endomysial IgM reagent at 1: 5 dilution.

Well, I have several strong symptoms for celiac disease, I've had serious female hormonal problems.

I've been gluten free for two years, I realized that I got better, I had problems that began to resolve that I did not even imagine was possible.

I stopped with gluten and found out that I have several food allergies that I didn't even know I had, I've always been underweight, couldn't catch weight.

In that time I realized that I had and I'm still recovering from low body fat, and that, I suspect, I had signs of malabsorption.

The test for celiac came back negative. You don’t have celiac. 

Move on.

You can not say that!  Some celiacs are seronegative.

Not only that, we know little about this person and other tests she may have had.  I have never had a positive EMA or TTG and I am biopsy confirmed.  

@Karen20  I have not seen the EMA IgM for celiac disease.  Can you explain more?  Were you gluten free when tested?

      Using a pressure cooker will break down Lectins.  Long cooking times as in using a crock pot will also reduce Lectin content.   However, having tried both, going lectin free for a few weeks is like a vacation for my digestive system.  I do hope you give the AIP diet a try.  I understand that changing ones diet takes a lot of mental readjustment which is difficult, but it's really worth the effort for long-term health.

      Depending on which source you research sprouting or fermentation can reduce lectins. I sprout rice, buckwheat and quinoa. However, I admit that gas and intestinal inflammation still plague me after 5 1/2 mo gluten-free. I have been resisting but I may try the aip diet at some point.

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link).  For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a professional, trustworthy resource. https://www.nutritionist-resource.org.uk/ I hope this helps.

      thank you knitty kitty. I will give those articles a read. Yes he is deficient in Iron and Vit D, that is all they tested for. Do you have any tips for finding a pediatric nutritionalist? He has an NHS dietician who has been helpful sending me generalised info on increasing Iron and cutting out dairy but they won't see him now for another year and I feel like I need more support than that...
