Welcome to the forum, @Hocaco!

First, we cannot comment with any certainty on your test values because you did not include the reference ranges for the test. There are no industry standards for the reference ranges and each lab constructs these tests a little differently.

Second, recently updated "gluten challenge" guidelines recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks in order to ensure valid celiac blood antibody test results. I would actually recommend 10g of gluten for 4 weeks to be more confident in rendering valid test results.

So, I sense that your test results may not be reliable as it sounds like your gluten challenge may not have been vigorous enough.

      Welcome to the forum, @Terrance Donald! Are you actually allergic to gluten or do you say that meaning you either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity), neither of which are allergies?

      Hello Members, I m looking for suggestions about gluten free seafood options in Ohio near springdale area as i will visit that place in 2 weeks. I m seafood lover but same time allergic to gluten.

      Hello Everyone, Quite helpful info. I was looking for same kind of info which finally i found here.

      Essentially all of our UK forum participants who are in the process of a celiac disease diagnosis report that after their blood antibody testing is done, they have to wait many months to get the endoscopy/biopsy for confirmation. My impression is that the UK/European health care models do great at addressing routine healthcare needs but poorly at specialty healthcare needs.

      I think both systems have merits and faults, but in my opinion no citizen of any country should be denied health care, and it should be a basic human right, no matter your income.
