Beth, OK, first of all was there a check for a false positive?
When, I called in to my GI doc's office here about the test,
the nurse said,"Bob, You've already had it,and it was negative
". I then asked about any chance on a false negative and she
said no, there were two samples taken on consecutive visits
and they were both negative. I just said Ah Great, thank you
very much. I can't believe I didn't remember though<Laugh>.
In any case, if they only did one test, one sample with you
, you should have it done again.
Also, eat the GF stuff you got now, and take careful
notice on how you feel, write it down if necessary. Once
you've finished it, start eating Gluten as per Margo's
instructions. Ramp it up slowly, and again take careful
note on how you feel. If it's no worse, Then I think Dr.J
is right about being not concerned about it, and you prob-
ably even had a false positive test. If it is noticeably
worse, tell him, and the issue has to be addressed. -Bob

and it came back positive all three times. No, I had it four times. I had it after being on a GF diet for over a year and that's when the antibody tests came back normal. 
But, since I didn't feel better, he is saying to eat gluten, despite the fact that the antibodies came back normal while being GF for a long time. I am dizzy with confusion.

Oh, are you saying that even though you ate gluten free for
over a year, that you didn't feel one iota better than when
you started eating GF a year before? If that's so, then just
go through the GF stuff you just bought and then start eating
gluten. From what you've said you shouldn't start feeling
worse. It may even get better. By the way, did he tell you
to just do one dose of Miralax per day, or did he leave it
up to you? Do you have the 257 gram jug or the 527 gram jug
of it? -Bob

Yeah I took Primate Defense up to 18 per day for one year it cost me more then that, but when you are desperate what else will you do? I just learned I had IBS, finally gave up on Primal Defense and saw a doctor.

Although Primal Defense did not work for you, I hope you don't give up on all probiotics.
