    Welcome to the forum. A single positive test for celiac disease definitely could mean that he has it, so it would be a good idea to follow up with an endoscopy, which is the normal next step after a positive blood test. One mistake we've seen some doctors make is that because only one of these tests is positive, and the others are negative, some doctors...

    My take on: 1) For many celiacs, including myself, I noticed a very positive change in my symptoms within days--the most horrible symptom of nearly constant diarrhea quickly lessened right away, so I think your doctor is not correct in this assessment. Yes, it may take 1-2 years to fully recover and for many other symptoms to improve, but you should...

    It looks like you have one blood test positive for celiac disease, and more about that is here: "IgG anti-gliadin antibodies are more sensitive but are less specific markers for disease compared with IgA class antibodies. IgA anti-gliadin antibodies are less sensitive but are more specific. In clinical trials, the IgA antibodies have a specificity of...

    How did you feel when you were gluten-free? Did your symptoms improve? If so, perhaps just go gluten-free? You don't need a doctor to allow you to go gluten-free, but it is a good idea to let them know if you make this decision. At the very least it appears you may have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

    Where is this restaurant located?

    We made updates to this article...thank you!

    At this point it's up to you what you'd like to do. You mentioned you have "White tongue, abdomen and back pain, bloating, tons of gas..." but your doctor does not think you have celiac disease, and the one positive test you had plus your symptoms tells me you could have non-celiac gluten sensitivity which ~10x more people have than celiac disease, and if...

    At least you have an answer now, and can go gluten-free and start recovering. Most issues with untreated celiac disease do resolve themselves on a gluten-free diet.

    Were you eating 2 slices of wheat bread or equivalent for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy? If not your results could be a false negative. Did they take at least 4 samples? The positive blood test result and your symptoms still means you could have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (there is no test yet for this).

    It only takes one positive test for celiac disease for you to have it, so at this point you could keep eating gluten and ask your doctor to get an endoscopy to try to verify the diagnosis, or you could try going gluten-free to see if your symptoms resolve.

    I'll have to trust you on this...the text in the image is too small for me to read.

    I would definitely clarify with your gastro exactly what testing will be done during the procedure. If you want them to check for celiac disease and do a gluten challenge, be sure to discuss this with them.

    By the way...long live the King! 😃

    Be sure to keep eating gluten daily, at least 2 slices of wheat bread's worth, for 6-8 weeks before blood tests, and 2 weeks before a biopsy, otherwise you could get false negative results, or "weak" positive, which is still positive by the way.
  19. Scott Adams
    If you are getting an endoscopy to test for celiac disease you need to eat at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread daily for at least 2 weeks before the test, otherwise you may end up with false-negative results. If you are this sensitive to gluten, can I as why you need to get this test? Why not just go gluten-free?
  20. Scott Adams
    This is definitely interesting, and we did a summary on this a while back (below). It probably makes sense for anyone with celiac disease and ongoing symptoms to go dairy-free for a while to see if it helps.
  21. Scott Adams
    They should be naturally gluten-free if that is all the ingredients say, and there are not allergen warnings.
  22. Scott Adams
    Yes, and this was brought up so often that we even did an article on the topic! Here are some searches for past posts: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="sharp pain"&quick=1&type=forums_topic&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=fluttering&type=forums_topic&quick=1...

    I always point people to this bread recipe, and see the comments as well, as it was developed by a scientist:

    I'm sorry to hear about your ongoing symptoms, and your symptoms certainly sound consistent with gluten sensitivity. If you have your full blood test results, including the reference ranges for positive, please share them. Note that ~10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity rather than celiac disease, and unfortunately they have not yet developed...
  25. Scott Adams
    Feel free to share your test results here, along with the reference ranges for positive. If you had a single positive test for celiac disease then you could have celiac disease. The normal process if you get a positive blood test would be to get an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease, and you would need to keep eating gluten until all testing is completed...
