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.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
