I read your query, one of now at least 15 who have, but I don't have any relevant information to post on the topic. I had to read the topic to see what the question was, and once I saw the question, I knew that I did not know anything that would help you. I am sure I am not the only person who reads a lot of posts without responding because I don't have anything useful to contribute to the topic. I do hope that someone who can help reads and responds.

You can't expect less than an hour to pass and have a lot of people resond. Clicking a topic doesn't mean someone has actually read it. It's night time and it will be awhile until you get a lot of answers.

Ditto Peter. If I don't have anything different or of value to add, why should I post?

I don't know. I thought she would repost it in her opening post, but she didn't. There are a lot of new posts each time I come on, so I could very well have just missed it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is confused by this.

I'm confused, too . . . :huh: Also, if no one has any information with regard to a subject, they're not going to BS you and tell you something that could potentially harm you.

I think she is referring to this thread:

Everything I have read says that you cannot have a false positive bloodwork. You can only have a false negative test. Your doctor who did the blood work is 100% right and you do have Celiac. As far as the biopsy I cannot answer that as I never had the test. My doctor was back in the stone ages and did not think it was necessary. The only reason I can see to have a biopsy after a positive blood test is to see how much damage has been done to the Villi. I wish I had done it for that reason alone. But at the time I had never heard of Celiac and was extremely ill at the time of diagnosis.

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
