Oh, it would be so nice if everything were just straight forward with all of this. Like a pregnancy test.

No allergy testing done yet. I do look forward to our family going gluten free - though I know also that if we do, our testing window here is very narrow. Since he already had the blood work, and it was negative, I suppose there will be no biopsy. I still need to get my other children's bloodwork done.

Here is my bloodwork, questions to follow: Deamidated gliadin Abs, IgA 26 H units Negative = 0-19 Weak Positive = 20-30 Moderate to Strong Positive = >30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 2 units Negative = 0-19 Weak Positive ...
