      One other thought: what other blood tests have you had? It might be worth having your iron and haemaglobin levels tested.

      I just want to make sure that you've been eating gluten daily, 2-4 slices of wheat bread, for 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood panel for celiac disease: This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Thank you for sharing, and I would only add that the 1/2 c oats should be gluten-free oats.

      This is quite interesting, and probably everyone who is newly diagnosed should exclude oats for a while, then reintroduce gluten-free oats slowly. I did not realize that such a high percentage, 38% of celiacs, react to avenin, or that if they react it could be a transient intolerance.
