Lab errors are always possible

The celiac blood test is extremely accurate and has a very low false positive.
Which blood test did she have and how high was the numbers?
When I was first diagnosed several years ago I was grateful to have a reason and even more grateful that of all the different things it could have been, celiac is quite straightforward. Avoid gluten and you're okay.

Doc said 100 on the labs which he said is very high
I don't know the exact name of the tesf if it's celiac or something just for gluten intolerance , he wants us to re do labs I really hope it's not celiac I'd prefer intolerance!

My dr did the same. A gastro I had for another kids said I can rely on the negative.
My first positive was not so high. It was borderline positive.
I figure I can always ask to test again.

A few of my kids tested positive with bloodwork and negative endoscopy and also afterwards negative for bloodwork again. If there is inflammation in the body it can show up as a temporary positive and then revert back to normal.

The blood test shows gluten antibodies, so if the person being tested has been minimizing or avoiding gluten recently the new test will not be accurate.
AFAIK 100 is high. My daughter test result was 18 and was sent for an endoscopy to confirm, which was positive. BH after a year and a half on a gluten free diet it's below 3 and she has grown beautifully.
