good morning!

im waiting on a call back from my doctor so was seeking others experience. My dr did a blood test for celiac that was a "weak" positive, for reference mine was a "4" with under 4 being negative and 10 a positive.

My biopsy did reveal a marsh 1 type A as well.

my question is with such a weak result should i seek further testing? i have no symptoms of celiac and had just started a high fiber (lots of gluten) diet this year and feel better than ever so its super confusing.

    The Dr must have had a reason for doing the blood test. Blood tests are not 100% reliable so yes it would be worth having a further test. Meanwhile keep eating lots of gluten or other tests wont be reliable either.
