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
