.......... information at the following link. I always find it helpful to talk to my doctor armed with medicial literature, publications from the CDC, etc. http://www.ncbi.nlm....les/PMC2948422/

Thanks for the link, Mike. Good food (gluten free of course) for debate at my next appointment with PCP on Feb 28. He will be enlightened in the ways of a Celiac.
We're new to each other (since jan, 2012) and want to give him a chance.

 Just got my results...Hopefully my copy & paste job below will be readable. I'd definitely appreciate any help with interpreting these. Looks like I have a STRONG POSITIVE on ANTIGLIADIN ABS, IGG but negative on everything else. The BOLDED results are my doing to make them stand out.

So from the research I've done, it seems as though my lab results suggest that Celiac isn't likely.  However, what do I make of the elevated ANTIGLIADIN ABS, IGG? Could that still suggest a Gluten sensitivity?  Any other autoimmune tests I should consider?
