Weak positive blood test and marsh type 1
As Scott said, if you go on a gluten free diet ahead of testing you can expect the test results to be negative. If you remove gluten from your diet, the inflammation in the lining of the small bowel will subside, antibody levels (what the blood tests are checking for) will drop and the mucosal lining will experience healing such that a biopsy will be normal... -

Weak positive blood test and marsh type 1
Thank you! Kind of starting to accept that, sucks but id rather switch to a gluten-free diet now than regret it later. I'll probably just listen to this Dr for now and go on a gluten-free diet, I have an appointment in May with a Dr that specializes in celiac so im hoping I will have a better experience there. -

From the article regarding the tTG-IgA test: So the most likely explanation of your positive tTG-IgA test would be celiac disease.
