were you still eating gluten when you had the scope done?

just wondering if I was to have a negative biopsy do you just leave it at that, or what would you do next? I am told that with such a high blood result (250) that I almost definitely have celiac...my family doctor wasn't even going to send me for scope.

My follow up isn't until November 2, but how long until the results might be ready? Do most people go gluten free right after scope?

I know it's a funny question....

I know I feel overall run down and I also know I look overall run down, bloated, and overweight. Just wondering how many of you look overall better once you recovered? And did people around you notice? thanks

I am still going through the testing process but it is looking like I am celiac so I have been doing a lot of reading. The one thing that keeps popping out at me is people who are gluten free who get glutened and the bad reaction. So currently I have a lot of symptoms and overall feel not great. But once I go gluten free and then get glutened it seems...

and he also said they don't scope kids, is this true?

he is saying she should have tested immunoglobulin? and he also said that false positives are common?? I honestly don't think he really knows. But he did say a scope is the gold standard which my doc was not going to do until I sort of insisted.

So my doctors office says....you are celiac...go see a dietician! So I say shouldn't I be diagnosed with a scope. The secretary says she will inquire. I called back today and yes they are going to refer me to a gastroenterologist. Today my 12 year old had a doctors appt for something else and I brought up testing him for celiac. Doc says what symptoms...

ok thank you for your help cyclinglady. I will talk to my family GP this week and go from there.

What does this mean in relation to a Celiac dx : Deamidated Gliadin peptide Ab IgG negative? and how long does it usually take to get in to a get a biopsy done?? thanks

Hi, I got my lab results back this week, but have yet to talk to my doctor about it. Just a little confused by what I am reading. This is what my results say, and if anyone can give me some advice on interpreting them that would be great...thanks Deamidated Gliadin peptide Ab IgG 5.8 ...
