Blood test screening: Requires blood for screening currently, definitive test is endoscopy with biopsy to confirm celiac changes in bowel. If positive need to be gluten free for life. Be sure to have gluten in system before testing, otherwise may have false negative.

I have fecal anti-gliadin antibodies. Through blood tests there was no sign of celiac. My secretory iga was a bit low as well. What does this mean? Should I be completely gluten free? Or just low doses? And what does secretory iga indicate? Thank you?
