I’m wondering the same. I am tempted to cut out gluten as this is advised for Hashimoto disease anyway . However, if I do I would not get official diagnosis of celiac disease.

I'm wondering if you are possibly on the cusp of developing celiac disease. It would be interesting to see what would happen to your ttg-iga levels if you were to commit to eating gluten free for six months and then have them checked again. When ttg-iga levels are elevated, there is only a 5% chance it could be due to something besides celiac disease. -

Obviously, you have looked at all this from various angles and I respect that. But consider this, you could trial the gluten-free diet for six months to see if it results in lower ttg-iga scores. If so, it is another piece of evidence pointing to celiac disease. You could then go off the gluten fast and return to a gluten loaded diet for weeks or months and repeat the colonoscopy/endoscopy. My is that trialing a gluten-free diet does not eliminate the possibility of getting valid celiac retesting at a late date if you are willing to engage with the gluten challenge. -

Assume I have celiac disease or have potential for it to develop. Have my adult children tested etc. I’m wondering the same.
