Hi, just something else to be aware of.

My antigliadin antibody was very high so I was told to start a gluten free diet ugh. But I also had a duodenal biopsy on the same day and that result took longer to come back but showed no celiac.

Have since had repeat tests and the blood test always shows disease even though I don't have it.

Duodenal biopsy is the only definitive test for celiac.

Regards
