Need Help With Blood Results

I have just recently started posting here because my middle son had a positive screening for celiac and is getting a biopsy in a week. They decided to screen me and I am freaked out that I came back positive to. My huband read me the results so I haven't seen them but this is what he said:

IgA endomysial is 17.9 and below 7 is normal for me

IgA gliadin is 107.3 and below 30 is normal for me

IgG was 22.5 but below 30 is normal for me.

So two positives and one negative, I think. I have very minimal sympotoms but how likely is it that we are both positive after the biopsy because of our blood work? I am in shock right now. I didn't expect mine to come back positive. And I can't get seen by gastro until July. I don' t know enough about the different screenings to know what these mean. Can anybody explain them to me? Thanks.

sorry, meant to say positive without even having the biopsy yet.

i went gluten-free for my celiac daughter since she was nursing. I never thought I had symptoms either and presumed the disease came from my husband's family since he has type 1 diabetes. After going on the diet, however, the joint pain I'd had my entire life stopped. I had always had a lot of gas, but thought it was because I ate a lot of spicey foods and veggies, but it too has stopped. I always has these blistery breakouts that I now think were DH because they're so much better. I just didn't have any classic symptoms and I'm overweight, so I never considered it. I was accidentally glutened and felt sooooo bad. I knew then that I was the one with problems with gluten. I haven't had any tests, but I'm not willing to go back on gluten to find out anything that I already know.

Thank you all for your responses. So the IgG was negative, what is that a screen for ? Or is it still a sign of Celiac's? I can't believe we have to wait so long to get seen by a Gastro doctor. Thanks for your help.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
