[quote=Anonymous]I have Celiac and it can be quite a process to get a diagnosis. I would try elimination first and if you are still concerned about Celiac you can get a blood test to see if you have antibodies but those are not always conclusive (especially if you are not eating alot of Gluten...no gluten, no reaction, less damage and there a varieity of different antibodies that could be effected so those do not always offer a clear picture hence the importance of the biopsy). There is also genetic test for Celiac as you have to have a very specific Gene set to get Celiac so if you have that gene set its no guarantee that you have it but can rule it out. If you do have antibodies you need a endoscopy as Celiac is usually only diagnosed with a biopsy via endoscopy [/quote]
