Benefit vs risk IMO for deciding on getting scoped.
If one is looking for villi damage only it may miss celiac...and many studies discuss this --glenntaj has discussed this too.
If you are looking for tumors/cancers...that is another issue, that may warrant a scope.
If the blood work suggests gluten intolerance or celiac, going gluten free for several months and retesting to see if the blood work changes is a much safer way to go.
