    I was just thinking this same thing - requesting repeat testing prior to giving up gluten. Makes sense. Thanks!

    Thank you. I certainly take it seriously, no matter what my diagnosis is, and I do a lot of my own research also. I just want to make sure I'm doing everything "right" as much as I can without jeopardizing any test result accuracy since this may be my last shot at getting an official diagnosis since I plan to go fully gluten-free afterwards! Yup...

    I am actually in the middle of this article currently already! Thank you. This website is extraordinarily helpful.

    Gotcha. I'll give 100% gluten-free a whirl after my testing concludes. I know the traditional endoscopy is the gold standard, but I've already had that done and it was normal, so my gastro wants to do a capsule endo to try to cover more surface area and see if she can see anything further than the traditional endo... If I do have Celiac, I just seem to...

I think what I'm currently worried about is, provided that my capsule endoscopy is negative and NCGS is then presumed, how to get a Celiac diagnosis down the road if I do go gluten free now and find relief (without worrying about cross contamination). The gluten challenge seems like such a nightmare! But, if my test results do indicate NCGS...

    Thank you for your response! I am actually genuinely looking forward to removing gluten (after all my testing is done) to see how I feel... My remaining question for you is: Are positive antibodies ever seen with NCGS? My understanding was that those only show up with Celiac since NCGS doesn't involve the same type of immune response as Celiac. But I...

    Hi all, I've really been on a rollercoaster journey the past year and a half while trying to narrow down whether I have Celiac or not. I was hoping that if I can give you my (potential) evidence for Celiac vs. potential evidence against, you all can weigh in on what you think? FOR: -Positive for one Celiac gene (DQ2). -Chronic reflux...
