Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Aish: The only sure way test for celiac is through a small bowel biopsy through endoscopy which I did last month and it was negative. There is such a thing as false positive. I also have a false positive lyme titer and when they did the western blot it was neg...the anti-gliadin for celiac which is positive.....was positive...but there are two other stronger markers in your blood called anti-endomysial antibody & transglutaminase these were both negative....this information........especially since the actual small bowel was actually negative proves that there is a false positive and any doctor that tells you that people with autoimmune diseases cannot have all sorts of falso positives of all thes immune disorders are wrong.....................Love, Stace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 why did you stop after a year, what side effects did you feel, and how soon after starting the drug did you first start experiencing your side effects?.............the crohns disease was also a false positive....also negative by biopsy.....all these things are off b/c our immune system is off......sorry, but your dr is wrong with this info.....you can research it or ask any other well versed dr as far as an autoimmmune patient is concernend.
