It Has To Be Celiac.

I love how I feel when I'm off gluten, it makes it so obvious it isn't good for me.

Were you gluten free or gluten light when those tests were run? If you were that would cause a false negative.

If you feel better gluten free then just stay gluten free and heal.

I had negative blood work, but positive biopsy. There's a 30% false negative in the blood tests.

Check some of the medical info sites for this and make a print out of it. Push for the tests you need.

That being said, if the Docs won't give you the tests you can still go gluten-free.

Raven, I had been gluten free for 4 days when the tests were run. But my doctor said that you needed to be off gluten for 2 weeks before test results were affected?

I guess that's the good thing about being affected by gluten - you don't need a doctor's opinion or approval to stay off it!

Well nothing else will happen until after my allergy testing, and the specialist for that has a waiting list of a couple of months. So I'm still gluten free :) I feel better this morning, less discouraged and glad I'm not still poisoning myself with gluten.

It's a good day!

In the end your response to the diet is what matters the most and it sounds like you are doing better. Hopefully you will have many more good days to come. If you have some ups and downs don't get discouraged.

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Same day which is strange to me.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
