I have read the website at http://www.celiaccenter.org but it does
not explain how the test works on diagnosed/diet-compliant celiacs.

Does anyone have that information? I have searched the archives and
read the celiaccenter.org website, which has very little detail on
the test that I can find, anyway, and the only phrase I have found
that says much of anything other than "this is a really good test"
is, "Tissue transglutaminase, which is an intercellular enzyme or
biological glue released by cell damage, may become a new epitope
for screening and/or diagnosing CD."

If anyone can explain how what is tested relates to celiac disease,
I'd be grateful.
