Does "positive Blood Work" Mean Any Of The Blood Tests For Celiac?

I see the phrase positive blood work used a lot and I'm not real informed about the blood work. I know there are new test out now since I had mine done. 6 years ago my GI did a blood test on me for what he said were the 4 antigens for celiac disease. 2 of the "less specific," ones came back as positive. He said that even though they were the less specific ones, it warranted a biopsy. Okay, here is my question. Would this be considered "positive bloodwork?" The way others are using it on the board?

Yep, that's what we mean! You had blood tests that showed a positive response.

:) Thank you, I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I wasn't sure if a positive meant one thing with a certain type of blood work or if it meant any bloodwork for celiac.

I need to call my doctor's office and find out the specific names of them. All I remember him saying was that there were 4 things measured for celiac and that I was positive for the 2 that are less specific (whichever those are?)

      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/
