My blood test results came back negative too.  Thus, my biopsy was
cancelled.
 
My parents are sure that I responded to the gluten-free diet as a child,
and they believe I would have died of malnutrition without it.
 
I also just found out that my bone density is quite poor for my age
(statistically signficantly below normal).  I am only 34, and have the
hip bones of a 70 yr old woman.  My rheumatologist ordered the test because
she said that many people with malabsorption have low bone density.
 
Yeah, I am totally confused about whether or not I have Celiac.
Unfortunately, it is taking forever to get my GI to get to the bottom of
this...and I don't think he is too interested since my blood test came
back negative and becuase I am not anemic.
