There are simple blood tests for Celiac.  If you have Celiac and do not treat it, there are lots of complications.  The treatment is eating gluten free....not surgery, drugs, etc.  so that's a good thing.  Once you treat the Celiac by eating gluten-free, the chances of all those bad complications go down to almost nothing.

      Oops! @Staticgypsy, I’ll get the book! Thank you!

      Thank you so much for your help, @trents and @Staticgypsy! I so appreciate your thoughts. My diet is high in foods with oxalates and I don’t notice any issues there. If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was many years into gluten-free eating (and was much more careful at that point), I’m just baffled. Many, many thanks to you both.

      I did'nt know that, I will check what specifically the blood tests were for. Thanks

      Sorry, @JudyLou, as reread your post, I see that you have had gene testing done already.

      Welcome to the forum, @Mark Conway! Can you be more specific about the "coeliac" test your doctor did? There are more than one of them. What was the name of the test? Also, did he order a "total IGA" test? This is a test to check for IGA deficiency and should always be ordered along with the tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. If you are IGA deficient, the IGA celiac blood antibody tests used to check for celiac disease per se will not be accurate. Also, if you have been cutting back on gluten before the tests, that will render them invalid. You must have be eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months before the blood draw to render valid test results.
