A member asked:
Is it possible to have celiac if a skin test showed negative for wheat allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A wheat allergy test is not the same test as a celiac tissue transglutaminase or endomysial antibody test. And even if those tests are negative, a small intestinal biopsy is needed to ultimately make the diagnosis of celiac.
