Hi, my daughter had bloodwork for celiac and it came back positive for celiac. She had an endoscopy a couple of days ago and the doctor said everything looks normal but we will wait for the biopsy. 

The biopsy says 

Antrum and body, biopsy:
- Gastric antral and oxyntic mucosa with mild chronic inflammation; negative for metaplasia and
dysplasia.

Anyone know if this means positive for celiac or negative?

I think you would need to ask the gastroenterologist whether or not they took biopsies for celiac disease, as the results you shared don't make this clear. Was it an endoscopy?

That sounds like a biopsy of the stomach.  Are there any biopsy results for the duodenum?

So if your daughter had a positive celiac blood test, and a negative biopsy for celiac disease, then she may still have it, or she may have non-celiac gluten sensitivity. She should try a gluten-free diet for a few months to see if it helps her with any symptoms. Be sure to discuss this with her doctor.

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
