    Yesterday, I spent a lot of time reading through what the various tests meant, Entrolab, etc. Is it possible to test positive on the EMA and tissue transglutamaise without having blood in the stool? It seems like most of the anti-bodies are actually in the small intestine, a place were I have no blood (at least according to all the stool tests performed...

    I was just reading some of the FAQ's, here on Celiac.com. One of the FAQs said something that totally contradicts everything I've been reading today. Here it is: One case I know of had elevated gliadins (both types) but normal EMA and ARA, plus an inconclusive biopsy. Do you see this often?** Vijay Kumar, M.D., Research Associate...

    Yeah... I'm going through the same thing right now. I have all the symptoms...bloating, diarrhea, upset stomach, floating stools, hair falling out...everything except being underweight. Except the Gliadin IgG, which was a weak positive, all the lab tests have come back negative. However, after reading some information on the www.enterolab.com site...

    gf4life, Since the way he tests is still so new, will mainstream doctors accept the diagnosis? Like most people on this board, this is not my only medical problem. I'm positive that sometime in my future, I'm going to have to go on yet another drug, and there is a strong possibility that the drug will not be gluten free. If I tell a doctor that...

    I have some questions about enterolab. First, I read through some of the information Dr. Fine provided on the site, and it seems to make sense. However, since I am about to be an attorney (if I can get my brain working long enough to pass the bar) and am not anywhere close to being a doctor, I know I don't have the expertise to determine whether he is...

    I'm thinking that at this point, it doesn't look like I have celiac. My test results that I have so far are as follows: Gliadin IGA Antibody: Negative (12.6 --- Negative is anything under 20 - Two weeks off gluten at the time) Gliadin IGG Antibody: Weak Positive (29 --- Weak Positive is between 20 and 30 - Two weeks off gluten at the time). Antiendomysial...

    Well, I was able to see the gastroenterologist today. She was very friendly (what a relief) and she seemed to know what she is doing. She is a faculty member at the University of Michigan medical school, so I'm hoping she's clued in. Anyway, she said that I probably didn't have celiac despite my symptoms because most people with Celiac are underweight...

    Hi... I've not yet been diagnosed with Celiac, although I'm pretty sure that I have it. I had no idea what it was until my doctor ran a blood tests for gluten antibodies a few weeks ago thinking that it may be the cause of a wide variety of poo problems. Anyway, he let me know that one of the tests cam back as a weak positive, that I might have gluten...
