What Do You Think? Entero Lab Results

So I am new here but I have been reading off and on here for a very long time. I figured I would throw out my Entero Lab test results to see what you all might think. Does it seem to be Celiac or just Gluten Intolerance? (The Million Dollar Question - you couldn't pay me that much to go back on gluten now for 'official diagnosis'!)

A little history...

I have been back & forth with gluten free (elimination diet) since approximately September 2007 (has it really been 4 years??). I actually eliminated gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, corn and probably more. I was only on this diet for about a month before I got pregnant and stopped because I was starving and tired of being limited in my diet. Fast forward to when that baby was born... He had reflux and barely slept at all during the day. He seemed miserable all the time and I suspected it was food related (my oldest son has multiple life-threatening food allergies but this son wasn't having any reactions like those) all along but never took the plunge back to gluten free until the end 2009/beginning 2010. Lo & behold, I was pregnant again within a month (seeing a trend here yet?). I initially stayed gluten free for a while during my pregnancy but then again saw the convenience of eating 'regular' so I dropped it again. After giving birth to my third son, I immediately starting seeing the same miserable, reflux baby I had seen before and slowly started eliminating gluten and dairy again. It quickly changed the way we all felt (my sons & I). I also ordered the Entero Lab in Feb 2011 and have had the following results since March 2011.

Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 87 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-tissue Transglutaminase IgA 12 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score 1400 Units (Normal Range is less than 300 Units)

Fecal Anti-casein (cow

      I am not sure if they have tested him for SIBO  should I ask the hospital if they have tested him for that, there is so much to learn in the beginning I am not sure what or who to ask I am thinking the good folks on this site will help me, thanking you for your help

      Has your hubbie been checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)? This is not uncommon in the celiac population. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21820-small-intestinal-bacterial-overgrowth-sibo

      Update: I got a call on Monday from the GI doctor's office, they had a cancellation and an appointment opened up for Tuesday. Not much time to prepare, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I haven't been gluten free at any point, but I haven't really loaded up as much as was recommended, either. It takes another 6-8 weeks to get the results, so I'd rather get it done now. I just hope it will be enough and I won't have to try again and delay it even longer. Thanks for the recommendations and thoughtful responses, much appreciated. I will be following up with my GP soon to check for nutritional deficiencies while I'm waiting on the test results.

      thank you kind sir for replying to my post , it seems like a mine field at the moment, I gave him hard boiled eggs yesterday maybe that caused him to have a flair up today, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment, trying to keep him feeling better ,
