Tests results are not clear

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.

      I am actually in the middle of this article currently already!   Thank you.  This website is extraordinarily helpful.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Gotcha.  I'll give 100% gluten-free a whirl after my testing concludes.  I know the traditional endoscopy is the gold standard, but I've already had that done and it was normal, so my gastro wants to do a capsule endo to try to cover more surface area and see if she can see anything further than the traditional endo... If I do have Celiac, I just seem to be on the very early end, I think.

      Given your long list of symptoms it would make sense to see if a 100% gluten-free diet helps relieve them, especially the anemia, and if so, it would make sense to just stay 100% gluten-free. Also, capsule endoscopy is not ideal for diagnosing celiac disease, as subtle villi damage cannot be detect by it.

      A classic CYA response, but their answer means that yes, Alprazolam 0.25 TABLETS contain zero gluten ingredients.
