Do I have Celiacs Disease?

My first blood test showed a tTG-IgA level of 6 u/ml. And my doctor called and said to stop eating gluten immediately and schedule a 2nd blood test. Around 6 months or so later after not eating any gluten I took another blood test and I have a level of <1 u/ml. I have no clue what any of this means??

I don’t know what the test ranges are but most Celiac tests “6” is either negative or barley positive and not a reason to assume the patient has Celiac.  
 

Can you find out what the ranges are for that test?   Maybe we could help you better  then

What has happened with your symptoms since you went gluten free? What has happened if you accidentally get gluten? Did they run any other blood tests?

      The Trader Joe's GF hamburger buns are the best!

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒

      When I underwent a scope three years ago, the GI told me I was negative for celiac because there was no intestinal damage (in spite of multiple strong positive labs). I went back to look at my biopsy report out of curiosity, and found this note: “Localized mild nodular mucosa was found in the duodenal bulb. Duodenum otherwise normal.” The pathology from this scope was negative. Does anyone have any insight into mild modular mucosa and what that could indicate or be a precursor to? I’ve read it can be a sign of celiac or other gut issues like h. Pylori, etc.  Thanks in advance!

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?
