Thanks for your response, Rucko. It depends on the results of the upper GI series, which I haven't yet scheduled. I haven't read anything on any celiac sites that mentions an upper GI series as a viable test for celiac so I'm a bit mired in doubt. I'm not sure the exposure to radiation, the dye milkshake, etc. are all worth it, especially if once I get an...

Hello! I finally made it to a GI doc in my area. Based on my weak positive blood test results and symptoms, he does suspect celiac but prescribed an upper GI series and told me to eliminate gluten (which I have already).

A few months ago I tested a (weak) positive on the tTG IgA test (4 result) after having some bouts of stomach pain. Incidentally, I also tested a weak positive for a wheat allergy. I've since cut out gluten and reintroduced it to monitor my reaction. Upon reintroducing it, I felt really no different, maybe some additonal little aches in the abdominal area...
