Default Absolutely.

In fact, that may well be the more common condition--gluten sensitivity presenting with or without gastricd symptoms, an isolated anti-gliadin positive test, but no anti-tranglutaminase positive, which is associated with degree of villous atrophy (and no villous atrophy).

Although it is always possible for the intestinal biopsy to have missed atrophy, if samples were not taken from a wide variety of places and not interpreted by a specially trained pathologist.

JCC, AKA Cara, has accumulated a lot of info on this in the Gluten File, especially through the work of Dr. Hadjivassiliou:

Wouldn't be a bad idea for you to look through the Gluten File, which is in the "stickies" at the top of this board, for any thing that interests/sounds like what you're experiencing. Believe me, if it's not there, it hasn't been discovered yet about gluten:
