Celiac Bloodwork Question?

I was diagnosed with celiac 6 months ago with a 178 number. In 6 months of cutting out gluten, it dropped to 77. My dr said it should be lower. Is he correct? From what I've read, it takes a long time to normalize? I thought this was great progress but he said I need to do better with the diet. Thoughts?

I'm not sure what the reference range for positive was in your case, and knowing that would be helpful. 

If your diet isn't 100% gluten-free, for example if you eat in restaurants, this could cause your levels to remain higher than normal.

Some members here have reported high levels even after a year on a strict gluten-free diet, so it seems that this can vary a lot from person to person, and gluten contamination may not be associated with your higher levels.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Many years ago yes, after eating and going to bed, apparently my esophagus filled with food that my body rejected, the esophagus would lay against the Heart sack (pericardium?) and the heart would respond by becoming arrhythmic. That went away with the strict diet.

      It has been known for some years that celiacs suffer from migraines at a higher rate than the general populatation. It is an established symptom.
