Thanks Trents!  To the recipe area for me:)

Thank you for all the help.  I did have 6 blood tests in total, 4 negative and 2 positives.  I did try and look at the article noted for blood tests results, but just could not understand it.  The last response was what I was looking for and made sense to me.  Seems as Celiac is not such a cut and dry diagnoses.  Lots to learn and thank you again.  

Hello, I recently had blood work done and was negative for IgA put positive with IgG.  Then I had a endoscopy which showed intestinal metaplasia; consistent with atrophic/autoimmune
gastritis.  (All result below)

My doctor said that is also a positive for Celiac and said I should continue on a gluten free diet.  So, am I truly Celiac and should I be on a strict diet?   I am worried about the endoscopy since we have colon cancer in the family also.  Thanks for any help.
