If you have celiac disease and are having nervous system issues you should have your doctor refer you to a neurologist who could examine you for ataxia. Here is more info but antibody levels play a part, as well as a neurological examination and tests:

Weak positive blood test...
Scott Adams replied to pressingon's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you were not eating gluten for 6 months, and then only ate gluten a few days before this test, it's likely that these results are not too accurate. @cyclinglady is right about the one positive results should be enough for you to move to a biopsy, but you need to be eating gluten daily for at least two weeks before the biopsy, and some believe longer: -

Are Marshmallows Gluten-Free and Safe for Celiac Disease Diets?
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Corn syrup is gluten-free and has been on our (and every other major) safe list for 25 years. Please provide evidence that it isn’t safe before making such a claim. -

Scott Adams replied to NewToGF89's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Welcome to the forum! With all the great gluten-free products available hopefully you will not need to cheat on your diet, and we definitely don't recommend doing that because the health consequences can be pretty bad, even if you did not have severe symptoms, which it sounds to me like this might be true in your case. It is up to you whether or not... -

I’m not sure why your doctor would not do a celiac blood test, as untreated CD can be dangerous in a toddler and can cause temporary lactose/casein intolerance. Has your son been on a gluten-free diet? If so, that could be the reason. He needs to eat gluten daily for several weeks before any tests for CD can be done.

So a gluten allergy would not be diagnosed with a biopsy, but celiac disease can be. I would ask your doctor to send you your test results.

A biopsy is how celiac disease is diagnosed, rather than an allergy. It’s also possible they diagnosed you with gluten sensitivity, but you should find out for sure and let us know. You may want to discuss your results with your doctor before going gluten-free to be sure that all the tests they want done are completed, as you could get false negative r...

Glucose syrup is Gluten-Free no matter its source. It has been on our safe list for over 15 years, and if you don’t believe me here are other references: https://heas.health.vic.gov.au/early-childhood-services/allergy-and-intolerance/coeliac-disease https://www.glutenfreeliving.com/gluten-free-foods/gluten-free-nutrition/gluten-questions-and-answers/w...

I would begin by re-examining your diet, and focus on foods you are eating regularly. Perhaps there is an issue with something. Do you eat oats or other grains? We recently ran an article which indicates that in India, many grains are contaminated:

It does not include "gluten-free" on the package, but by ingredient it looks to be naturally gluten-free: https://www.oetker.co.uk/uk-en/our-products/home-baking/icings-marzipan/soft-fondant-white-icing-ready-to-roll

Is it Important to ONLY eat Certified gluten free?
Scott Adams replied to Zenith's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I would avoid processed foods and try to stick with whole foods that you personally prepare. I’d avoid refined sugar as well. I had issues with corn, milk, tomatoes and chicken eggs for about two years after my diagnosis, and would swear back then that I’d gotten cross contamination with gluten until I realized that I had additional, temporary food intolerance. ... -
Can you list the full name of the test that is elevated? Normally antibodies go away after being so long of a gluten-free diet. Is your diet 100% gluten-free? If you eat out it probably isn’t.

If you’ve already noticed a strong connection between the blisters appearing whenever you eat gluten, the chances are it’s probably DH. On one hand I understand why you’d not want to eat gluten daily for weeks to verify this, but on the other if you’ve already found the answer to their cause, do you really need a formal diagnosis? The downside to a diagn...
