Virus, celiac disease or both?
Thank you @trents! I have been going back and forth on some gluten free some days and some days not trying to see if there is any reaction to how I feel. As much as I don’t want to I think given the blood test not being 100%. It’s fair to say an EGD is necessary. I do think before I go through with that I would run another TTG IGA... -

I have an endoscopy booked for mid-September to test for Celiac. My gp seems convinced it is celiac and I should eliminate gluten right away, but the gastroenterologist I was referred to says if I'm totally gluten-free then they won't be able to detect celiac from the endoscopy, and I should load up on gluten 2 weeks before the test. So I guess I shouldn...
