Had my daughters appointment for her biopsy results just then. He said bloods are high but not through the roof and biopsy wasn’t through the roof but were a bit inflamed so can’t say for that she is coeliac . Options are eat normal for 12 mths then repeat bloods and biopsy and if they are worse then she is coeliac . Eat gluten-free for 12 mth , repeat tests and then if they look better than now she’s coeliac.
With those results my daughter wants to continue eating normal as the sickness she was experiencing (which was why we saw a dr in the first place) has disappeared. It’s a hard one because I would like her to trial gluten-free even for 2 months to see if she feels less sluggish etc.

Can you get a copy of her blood test results and share them here along with the reference ranges for positive results? Also the biopsy results if possible.

For a doctor to say her antibody results were "high but not through the roof," is very strange indeed. 

A year in the life of a child represents a great deal of developmental time, so if she has issues with gluten it would be best to error on the side of caution and go gluten-free, rather than continue eating it, especially if she has lots of symptoms.

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
