Velveeta and Twenty Other Surprisingly Gluten-Free Foods
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
As mentioned in the article, Kraft mentions ALL potential allergens, including wheat, on the label of its products: https://www.myfoodandfamily.com/article/000001443/frequently-asked-food-safety-questions Per its label, there is no reason to believe that Velveeta contain any gluten. -
Diagnosis
Scott Adams replied to Kmorley's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I think the chances of a false positive blood test is rather small compared to the chance of a false negative biopsy result. Any chance you can share the details if your blood test results, including the scale they use? -

To biopsy or not?
Scott Adams replied to kathysb918's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The DGP tests are very accurate, and do indicate celiac disease, so it makes sense for your doctor to follow it up with an endoscope and biopsy. Were you eating gluten daily in the weeks leading up to these blood tests? If not the scores would likely have been higher. If you need a formal diagnosis to help keep you on a gluten-free diet for life... -
Velveeta and Twenty Other Surprisingly Gluten-Free Foods
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
If Velveeta contained "traces of gluten" they would disclose it on their label, but they do not: https://www.kraftheinz-foodservice.com/product/10021000633309/VELVEETA-American-Cheese-Loaf-5-Lb-Pack-of-6?categoryid=0000070270 We double checked and they the product is gluten-free by ingredient, and there is no allergen warning for "wheat." -
Symptoms & False negative result
Scott Adams replied to sarab's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Be sure that you've been eating gluten daily for at least 4-6 weeks before your blood tests. -
Good luck with everything and I hope you've found a solution! Keep in mind that most celiacs and those with gluten-sensitivity don't have obvious symptoms, and many have zero symptoms, so just eating some gluten and having no reaction won't rule them out...but I do hope that you don't have either issue!

If you are in the UK, they are not diagnosing celiac disease in most cases by blood tests alone, and your results are sky high. Do you have the full blood test results that you can share? This article may be helpful to you:

Did you get any blood tests done? Normally you would have a blood screening before doing the endoscopy. If so, please share the results. If not, you should ask your doctor to do this before you go gluten-free.
-
I would follow your doctor's advice and repeat the blood test after 6 weeks of eating gluten. If the results are positive I would consider myself, at the very least, gluten sensitive, and go on a gluten-free diet. Due to your unusual circumstances your doctor may ask you to do another biopsy if you have positive blood tests. It's your call whether you would...

For a gluten challenge I believe they recommend at least 6 weeks of eating ~1 slice worth of wheat bread a day before the blood tests. Certainly doing this would be a good idea if you would not otherwise be able to maintain a gluten-free diet for life, or if you had any doubts about whether or not you should be gluten-free.
