<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear all, Especially after reading Laura Greene's message about the difficulties the doctor in diagnosing her, I kept wondering why not get the EMA (endomysial anticor--I hope this is how it is spelled). This was the blood test that was done to me and according to my gastro. doctor it gives conclusive results. It was through this test that I was diagnosed positive and my intestinal biopsy turned out quite normal. I am wondering why no one on the list so far has mentioned this test. Those who talked about tests refer only to IGA and IGG. These, according to my doctor, are not that good for diagnosing celiac. I am curious whether EMA is not used the in the U.S. or not. I am from Turkey and could it be possible that we're getting these tests from Europe (I am just speculating on this last point). I should add that my doctor seemed so assured of the relaibility of this test and wanted to repeat the same test after 6 months of dieting and was expecting the result negaftive after the diet. I did get the test 6 months later and yes, it turned out negative. Mainlky because when you're ingesting gluten the body develops anticors to struggle and when there is no gluten the anticor's disappear. I am very interested in hearing from people whether they have heard about this test and what they know about it.
