Is diagnosis based on Anti-Endomisial Antibody IgA and IgG enough?

A couple of months ago I was very sick, had problems with my throat so the doctor prescribed antibiotics.

Before that I had some problems with my stomach, but it was just a Dysbiosis and doctors always treated it without problems.

After taking the antibiotics everything went to hell, Dysbiosis was back.

Prescriptions were working, but if I was stopping to take them I was suffering from diarrhea and gases, So my last doctor asked me to take Anti-Endomisial Antibody IgA and Anti-Endomisial Antibody IgG tests.

Both came back as positive 1:10.

Based on this my doctor told me that I have Celiac Desease.

I am on my 3rd day of Gluten Free diet, still in shock. My country is not very developed and to find gluten-free food is practically impossible, anything you find is so expensive, that you need to be rich to buy it. But this is another story.

Are these tests enough to tell that I have Cardial Desease?

Update: My doctor told me to go on gluten free diet and after 1-2 weeks my symptoms will be gone and after 2 months I will again pass the same tests to see if the results have changed. After the results are negative I will start eating gluten food for some time and we will see if the symptoms come back or not and if the antibodies are back or not by blood test. Is this a good practice?

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
