The article states that it's in vitro. Does that mean that it could be accurate without gluten consumption?

Unfortunately not. It is another blood test looking for antibodies.

I don't quite understand this test either.  It does claim to be an in vitro test... 

The SQI Celiac Panel is an in vitro diagnostic test to determine, in human serum, the amount of IgA and IgG immunoglobulins of antibodies generated by the body against deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) and tissue transglutaminase (tTG)

All tests run on blood or serum samples are in vitro tests. The test is run outside of the body (originally, in vitro meant in glass, for example in a glass test tube). An example of an in vivo test would be an endoscopy. The test really isn't anything terribly new. It just can be run as a panel on that company's machine.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.
