Preliminary diagnoses via blood test in 2009; Is biopsy confirmation worth the contamination required?
Jula, welcome to the forum. What possible benefit would having an official diagnosis give you at this point in your life? You already have medical test evidence that you are a celiac (antibody tests and genetic testing) and the symptom improvement when you went off gluten confirms what the testing already pointed to. Why on earth would you risk damaging... -

The topical steroid given by the doctor usually does the trick after... -

Antibodies went up
@Barcino, Yes, do try cutting out dairy. About half of people with Celiac Disease react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as to gluten because of similar protein segments. Others have Lactose intolerance because their damaged intestinal lining, the villi, are damaged and can't produce the enzyme lactase which breaks down the sugar in dairy...
