It’s positive, and does it give you the positive range for this result as >250 ?

Since you were referred to a gastro I suspect your doctor wants to follow up on this result with a biopsy. Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all tests are finished.

I am guessing that the 250 result means that the lab can or does not measure anything higher.  It could be 720 or 1000!  I get that result myself.  I say it is “off the charts”.  
 

Like Scott says, do not alter your diet.  Keep consuming gluten until your GI tells you otherwise (not your GP/PCP).  
 

Trimble...assuming that is your name, is Irish.  Lots of Irish folk have celiac disease....just saying.....😊

Yes, it looks like a strong positive.  The standards that the lab used to quantify the result only go so high.  Theoretically a lab could dilute the sample and rerun to get it within range, then multiply the result by the dilution factor, but since it is definitely positive there’s really no reason for them to do that.

      I was undiagnosed for quite a few years. I now have neuropathy in my hands and feet. Be watchful of something like this and definitely see a neurologist if having symptoms like numbness in your extremities.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      Hello, @jadeceoliacuk, Has your son been tested for nutritional deficiencies?  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of essential nutrients which can result in nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.   I would find a nutritionist more knowledgeable about Celiac and ASD, before taking herbal supplements that don't contain essential vitamins. Interesting Reading: Relationship between Vitamin Deficiencies and Co-Occurring Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7279218/   Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Mitochondria, and Nutrient Deficiencies https://hormonesmatter.com/autistic-spectrum-disorder-asd-mitochondria-nutrients/   Relationship between Vitamin Deficiencies and Co-Occurring Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7279218/ Keep us posted on your progress!
