Some patients only have the EMA test positive.
Maybe you are one of them.
Maybe your results are below the cutoff level with the tests you listed.
You see, they actually set the cutoff quite high so they get NO, absolutely no, false positive result, like a positive test and a slightly negative biopsy result. They want to always have positive biopsies whenever a celiac test is positive.
Still, 20% of biopsy proven celiacs get negative blood tests.
If you are symptomatic enough, maybe get the biopsy done? Pill cam?
