In Nov 2022 I had a blood test that came back with a weak positive for Coeliac. I had been off eating any bread and pasta products that month so the doctor recommended I go back to eating gluten and do a repeat blood test a week later. After my second blood test the doctor said I was still weak positive and not to worry, it meant nothing, and to just carry on as normal. However since then I've done a bit of reading and seen that any weak positive is still a positive for Coeliac and that I should be on a gluten free diet. I was also not offered an endoscopy biopsy, should I have had this to confirm a positive diagnosis?Â
My primary symptoms are symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, a little bloating, deteriorating eyesight, weight gain, some joint pain, inflammation.
Any support or information would be amazing, thanks!
