Just to be more clear....

There is real genetic Celiac... which can be identified with specific blood antibody tests, and DNA markers. The endoscopic test is really not necessary for most people. And given that the news about contaminated endoscopes with drug resistant bacteria being reported now, I'd avoid an endoscope if the blood work shows issues alone.

But the gluten intolerant people, may not test positive with the blood work.Theirs is considered "acquired", for the most part.

The Gluten File is maintained on Google by Cara and has all the newest stuff on it that gets published.
