Quote: They used to test for gliadin-antibodies before. But since then they have found that celiacs in chidlren and adults are probably two different conditions. The old test was not very accurate in adults and could give "false positive results" according to an information page I found. Now they instead test endomysie- or transglutaminas-antibodies for adults. This is considered to be highly accurate according to my GP.
Whoa. I never heard this before. My tests that were positive were the gliadan tests. The endomysie- or tansglutaminas test was negative (yep, same name here in US). Perhaps I have been eating GF for nothing. I am so confused. The GF diet really hasn't given me the success it seems to have given Kat, Sarah, and Melissa. I still have bloat and gas and pain....just not the D.
Where did you read this info? Please....I would love to read this! I was always told that the gliadin was over 90% accurate. Plus, I just had my blood tested again after being GF...and this time all the antibodies came back negative.
Thank you so much for telling me this. My doctors seem to have no answers. I wonder if anyone here in the states could enlighten me on this.
I wish I could be brave and just try gluten again....but I am terrified of it by now.
