  @Scott Adams @knitty kitty @cristiana @trents Thank you everyone, I should add, I forgot to mention, I did have an upper endoscopy around the time and that came back all clear/perfectly fine , so with both of those I always ruled out celiac disease , especially considering sometimes I'm absolutely fine with gluten

  Testing
  
  Hello, @Deborah123, Which blood tests for Celiac did your son have? TTg IgA tests may throw false negatives in children because of immature immune systems. That's why a complete Celiac panel should be done which includes total IgA, tTg IgA, DGP IgA and DGP IgG and tTg IgG. Insufficient gluten consumption in the weeks prior to testing can result...

  I agree with @cristianacristiana, @Scott Adams, and @trents. You probably weren't eating sufficient gluten for the test to be accurate. Ten grams of gluten for at least two weeks before testing is needed for accurate blood tests. Three gram of gluten is enough to make you feel unwell. Ten grams of gluten is required for the antibodies to leave...

  Sammy, I have doubts as to whether you were eating enough gluten to render any of the celiac testing you had done valid. Recently revised guidelines for pretest celiac blood antibody analysis is the daily consumption of at least 10 g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks before the blood draw.

  @cristiana Hello ! the first time I sent it off there was a failure and they needed to be redone , whilst I was waiting for this information I was off gluten, then I reintroduced it for a couple of days before going to have it tested again. But I had such a low score that the doctor said it would be quite unlikely to be celiac based off my results, even after...
