Hi I’ve just been tested for celiac due to a recent blood test showing B12, vit d, folate, and ferritin deficiency. I had the blood test due to lots of symptoms pointing to celiac. My father and his sister are both diagnosed celiacs.

Ive had this result back so far and can’t get a gp appointment for two weeks …

IgA Endomysial Ab - positive 

I also have these tests but results aren’t available yet. 
ANTI-ENDOMYSIAL ABS

S IgA tissue transglutaminase
 

Does the positive one mean I could be celiac ? 
thank you

Yes. This test is also known as the EGA. You will likely be asked to have an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel done for confirmation. Do not begin a gluten free diet until all testing is complete.

This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

Thank you both for the replies. I’ll have a read and await my gp follow up appointment

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. 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.):
