Positive Blood Test

Hi I just got called with a positive blood test, double what it should be. I have to get an upper gi now. I'm really confused. I was sick back in August and had the test done as part of a work up. I've felt fine since and just thought it was a bug. How come I haven't had any symptoms or problems since? I'm just really confused with everything.

That is a bit of a puzzlement, isn't it? It could be that you were just sick in August, and that finding celiac (or supposed celiac) disease was just a serendipitous finding. Which celiac test(s) did they run, and what were the scores and ranges?

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
