Read the article I linked in a post today. It explains how food allergy tests can be wrong. If your biopsy was negative the positive blood tests were wrong.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

thank you for your opinion. I'll have to think of a non-wheat bread. 
So you don't think the consistant antibodies mean anything, right?

Thank you. I've never had the vomiting either. I'll talk to my doctor about this. I would think if the gallbladder wasn't working, then bile would not be released to help with digestion, like it's suppose to. I never thought of a non functioning gallbladder as diseased.

Hmmmm - I suggested you reduce not eliminate wheat. A couple of slices of wheat bread a day should be fine.
If you doctor isn't worried about false positive tests then I am not worried either

Jordy, how long before the endoscopy were you not consuming gluten? I'm sure you already know this, but in order for a biopsy to be considered a valid indicator, you have to eat a fair amount of gluten for at least a month before the test is conducted.

I wish I was brave enough to just "do it". I trust your opinion, yet I am so afraid to try eating gluten, after refraining from it for 4 years! I'm just scared and sort of brainwashed by the results of those antibody tests.
