This article does not make things much clearer about gluten sensitivity.
In response to questions about how to treat gluten sensitivity "Should they all be totally gluten-free or partly gluten-free? And does gluten actually harm them in the long run?" The doctor answered "The bottom line is that no one really knows. Part of the problem is that it depends on what type of gluten sensitivity we are dealing with. Another concern is that there are no long-term, rigorously conducted scientific studies to tell us whether a specific diet or another treatment is helpful, harmful or makes no difference to gluten sensitive patients."
Perhaps the bit that matches you best she says "If blood tests show that such patients also have antibodies to tissue transglutaminase (TTG) or deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP), I would suggest that these individuals consider going on a truly gluten-free diet, since they are most likely on their way to celiac disease."
Do you know which blood test you had? Do you experience any neurological symptoms?
It might be best if you took a copy of the article to your doctor and ask for guidance to match your personal situation.
