just the colonoscopy,,doctor said that would confirm the blood test diagnosis, but as i said,,,blood test positive, colonoscopy negative...i am sticking with the gluten diet and also staying away from dairy....thanks for your comment

thank you for your comment...i also thought is was very odd for the doc to tell me that...i am glad someone also thought it was strange..makes me believe i haven't totally lost my mind...you know some times when you try to explain how you feel to a doc they look at you like ..is this all in thier head..but i can assure it what i felt was very real....

thanks for your input.....i have stayed away from gluten and the dairy and slowly starting to feel better,,still have pains in my abdomen, but not the constant pain.so that is good...thanks again ...

Thanks for your reply. I am thinking if the blood test was positive, i should stick with the gluten free diet as well as giving up dairy for a while.

Thanks for your reply!

I am 56, and recently had the celiac blood test. The results were postive for the Endomysial antibody IGA and the tTG igA was 48 ..they said normal was 0-3 Doctor said to start the glutten free diet and my symptoms would improve, which they have, altho i still have pain in my abdomen, and gas whenever i eat, and whatever i eat..i had the colonoscopy biopsy...
