I got the results of my blood tests: negative endomysial and gliadin.
My mother claims that I responded to the gluten-free diet as a child, and
we always thought that was what I had.  I am scheduled for a biospy in a
few weeks, but am ambivalent about going through with it.  My doctor has
not been available to discuss the results with me (the nurse told me over
the phone, after I called several times).
 
Here are my questions:
1. Has anyone out there had negative blood tests and a positive biopsy?
2. How common is it to have a negative blood test and a positive biopsy?
 
Please reply.  Thanks in advance.
