> To be clear, I pretty much ruled out celiac long ago, because my symptoms are not _that_ serious.

My symptoms were less than yours (constipation once in a while) but I am 100% confirmed celiac. I had positives on the anti-tissue transglutaminase IgG, IgA tests and endoscopy confirmed extensive damage consistent with years of celiac disease. You should rule out celiac disease with the IgG, IgA tests, followed by endoscopy if positive.

Thank you very much. This was actually very helpful. I have some old medical results from years ago, that I don't (didn't understand). I looked through them to see if IgA was there, and it is. I didn't know what that was until now.

My IgA test was negative. The false negative rate for that test is 10%, so I have a small chance of actually having coeliac, but I probably don't.

Anyway, I definitely might end up getting another biopsy done to check for coeliac. (I had one done, but it was too high up, above the duodenum, to say anything about coeliac.)
