imbuzymom2 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 10, 2005 My son has asthma and was taking oral steroids. He was given several blood tests 3 days ago to test for Celiac. With the steroids throw off the test results? Thanks Holly Link to post Share on other sites
lovegrov 151 Posted March 10, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 10, 2005 I think steroids can give you a false negative on the biopsy but do not know if they have any effect on the blood tests. richard Link to post Share on other sites
imbuzymom2 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 10, 2005 Thanks. Since the Steroids will reduce the autoimmune response, I am thinking that a negative test at this time isn't as accurate. I will have to question the doctor when the tests come back. (he knew we were taking them when he ordered the tests) THanks. Link to post Share on other sites
