Sorry, I missed this! Well, I know you've have the blood test for celiac four times (3 postive and 1 negative, right?), but there are a few things I want to know:
1) Did you have a biopsy of the small intestine to confirm the blood tests? Which blood tests did you have? Did other blood tests show signs of anemia or inflammation? You might want to check out labtestsonline.org; it really explains the various blood tests and screenings for different conditions really well.
2)I have heard that after a GI infection you can have temporary lactose or gluten intolerance. First, I'm wondering if this is true. This is what a doctor told me, but he wasn't a specialist. If it is true, then I'm wondering if you may had had a GI infection you were recovering from or if (due to your ED, how it affects your body, and recovering from that) having an ED and being possibly malnutritioned already fromt that, if it would affect the test and maybe give you a false positive?
3) After going GF, what changes did you notice in your body? Did you feel better? Did it make an immediate or long-term difference? If you felt better, could it have been due to something else, some other changes in what you were eating or in your lifestyle?
Whew.  I had problems phrasing that last one. Anyway, I would want to know these things before giving my opinion.
