Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply! I was able to meet with a Gastroenterologist and he was comfortable diagnosing me with Celiac based on blood tests alone.

Thanks so much for your reply! A Gastroenterologist won't see me for a few weeks and I've been trying to decipher these test results online. It's helpful to know they're borderline.

The lab test says <4 No Antibody Detected, >OR=4 Antibody Detected It was my endocrinologist who ordered the test because of my Type 1 Diabetes...though again, this is so surprising because I don't have symptoms. I guess I'll try to be brave and get the endoscopy. I really appreciate the advice.

This is what my lab work says: Endomysial Antibody (IgA) Screen: POSITIVE Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies 12 U/ml IgA 182 (81-463 standard range) Endomysial...
