A member asked:
Is it absolutely impossible to have celiac disease without positive blood tests and biopsy? even with all symptoms and other autoimmune diseases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: The gold standard of celiac disease is the small bowel biopsy. Blood tests, if positive are helpful. You don't provide enough clinical detail to give you more specific advice. Denmark has several excellent hospitals and medical schools.I suggest you should be evaluated in a tertiary medical center.l
