ARCHIVED Blood Tests And False Negative Results
jwblue replied to jwblue's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If I have Celiac and test false negative, would taking a blood test a second time increase the chance of an accurate diagnosis? Or is there something in my blood that would cause a false negative making it not beneficial to take a second blood test. -

jwblue posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I understand this is a difficult question to answer. I am asking people to answer this based on their own experience and research. Assume I have Celiac. What is the percentage chance that I take a blood test and the result is a false negative? -

Do these cover all of the tests listed... -
ARCHIVED What Blood Tests Do I Need To Determine If I Have Celiac?
jwblue posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Are the tests subjective? (i.e. if my test come back with a certain result, I have Celiac, otherwise I do not). The reason I ask is, I am going to ask my psychiatrist to order the tests instead of spending money to see an internal medicine doctor.
