I think you need to ask the doctor what blood test he is referring to. Pinpoint him down and be more specfic.

Not only that, a Celiac panel should have at least four results, not just one. I came out normal on all but the IgG, which was 35 (anything under 20 is normal). All the rest were fine for me (I was not eating much gluten at the time of testing.)

You should have multiple numbers...AND you should ask for a printout of your lab work. It's always nice to have it on file or to share with other docs.

      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/
