Welcome!  

You do have a positive.  That means that you should receive a referral to a Gastroentrologist who can perform more tests,  including an endoscopy.  During the endoscopy the GI will look for damage and obtain biopsies.  A  pathologist will determine if their is villi damage which is microscopic.  Here is more information:

Make sure she keeps eating gluten (only a saltine or two or a single slice of bread per day) until the endoscopy is finished.

One r two slice of bread per day ... For how many time atlest before endoscopy ??

She should eat some gluten every day before the endoscopy.  The usual advice is to eat gluten for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy, and 12 weeks before a blood antibody test.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
