A member asked:
Could celiac disease blood tests work if you are not currently eating gluten?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The antibody test is likely to remain positive for a long time after going on gluten free diet. The test for hla antigen will certainly remain unchanged. See this site for more info. http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiactesting/.
