A member asked:
I have celiac blood test negative and no iga deficiency but biopsy is positive. any other way to confirm and is it possible to have these results??

Possibly: Gold standard is usually biopsy . The other ways to prove it would be to avoid BROW or gluten free diet including Barley Rye Oat Wheat products. If you get better then you've proven you have Gluten allergy.

Yes: biopsy for celiac disease is considered the "gold standard"for this condition.There is no need to look further.
