I am about to be tested for celiac disease. I had NEGATIVE blood test but POSITIVE gene test. My dr still wants me tested by GI as I have lots of the symptoms. 

I am starting to worry that my biopsy will be negative & I’ll still have all these mysterious symptoms and illness. 

I’m sure this has been asked before so I’ll keep it quick and simple. Yes or No? 

WHO HAD A  *NEGATIVE* blood test but positive biospsy????? 

Thanks

I did. I had been gluten free or mostly gluten free for a couple of years prior to testing, though. After the negative celiac blood tests, the GI doc gave me the gene test to rule out celiac and was surprised to have that come back showing I had the genes. He then did the biopsies and was even more surprised to find the damage ... he then diagnosed me with celiac. Five years later I had another endoscopy with biopsies and he was tickled to see that all the damage had healed... so he felt he had made the right call and I was following the diet carefully. I had horrible D and all kinds of symptoms until I was healed.

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      By Brianne03 · Posted

      My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac; my results are questionable and I have an appointment scheduled to see a GI doctor to further discuss. I have so many odd, ongoing symptoms that could possibly be gluten related, although who really knows!! I am considering going gluten-free whether a Celiac diagnosis is confirmed or not, just to see if there are any improvements with my dermatitis, mouth sores, aching and chronically cold hands, tingling in hands and feet, random joint pains, etc.  What are the advantages vs. disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis? For instance, will it affect life insurance policies, medical insurance rates? What have you personally experienced with or without an official diagnosis? I'm almost afraid there will be more hinderances and hardships if an official diagnosis is given, but maybe I am way off base and missing the positives altogether. We are located in the US. Thank you!

      Thank you all for the reply posts.  Yes, the constipation has abated.  I am not sure whether its due to having changed to a gluten-free diet or not, but I do think that there is a reasonable correlation.  I know that I will get over this eventually, but I am finding it hard not to lament missing all of my favorite foods that contain gluten.  Certainly, my health comes first... I guess I never realized how many things contain some element of wheat.  My sister has been living with celiac disease for most of her life, so I have someone who will share her favorite recipes. The next step for me will be my appointment with a Gastroenterologist for the Celiac Team... I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!
