Positive Blood Work, Negative Gi Biopsy

I had my blood test for Celiac about a year and half ago and it came out positive. When the upper GI came back negative the doctor totally disregarded Celiac and diagnosed me with IBS. I have mild and livable symptoms but I am worried that if it is Celiac I could be damaging my body at the time the doctor did not seemed concerned about this. Could I have tested negative earlier but still by damaging my body with gluten or am I being obsessive?

You might be gluten intolorent but not have Celiac. The treament is the same either way.

I had a positive blood test and an inconclusive biopsy. I went gluten-free the day after the biospy and by the time I met with my doctor to go over results two weeks later the change was so obvious I was given the Celiac diagnosis.

Have you tried gluten free? It might be worth giving it a go for a month or two to see if there is a change. If there is a change, then you'll know for sure. If it is and you don't go gluten-free, you will be damaging your body.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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/
