Hello Listmates,
My friend's husband was just tested for Celiac with the results shown below. We're are having a hard time deciphering the results. Was the complete panel done? Also, in the 13 years since my daughter was diagnosed, I understand the tests have become more refined and accurate. Would you still advise that he have the endoscopy? Thank you so much for your help...
