I appreciate the idea and we've had a moderate amount of success with this sort of thing for other issues (e.g., US flour caused swollen tonsils and sleep disturbances for one child, while bread we had in Europe didn't affect her at all). Because of this, before she was tested for celiac, we ate homemade sourdough made with organic grain that we ground ourselves...

She was eating gluten for 6 weeks before hand. It makes sense that the sensitivity rate is lower, like trents said, so the specificity is more telling than the sensitivity with regards to a negative test the second time. I think we're just going to let it be for now and consider a gluten challenge down the road in a few years, depending on what she actually...

Thank you both! I very much appreciate your input. I'm curious - would it change your opinion if her most recent EMA was negative, after being positive in November? We just got that result back today, and I felt like it threw me for another loop!

So my daughter's doc wrote me back today that we can be "confident" she does not have celiac, and I confess I was surprised. She has stomach pain that comes on when eating gluten, and goes away when gluten free. She gets weird, scaly/scabby rashes (not eczema) periodically and has consistent diarrhea and bloating. She's had labs done three separate times...
