    Final Update: The endoscopy showed no signs of celiac damage (several biopsies were taken). There was "minor inflammation - not clinically significant." As it happens, endometriosis may be the culprit concerning GI symptoms and back pain; we had a bit of an epiphany-week! Unsure why the weak positive showed on the ttg, but I will be going...

    Happy Monday friends, I am new to this forum. I'm a 36 y/o female, and am seeing a GI doctor for bowel changes and other unsavory symptoms. I have suspected Celiac, and although the GI doctor said he didn't think it was Celiac, he ordered tests to be thorough. I have waited a few days to hear from his office regarding the results, but I received the...
