I don't believe a scope will totally rule it out.... many people have gluten issues without frank Celiac. The links I gave you explain why. Basically the gluten peptide can escape the GI tract without causing damage there. Once the peptide is in bloodstream that is when the problems start. No scope will show that process. The scope only shows damage to the villi and inflammation, but not whether the gluten (gliadin) is getting thru the Zonulin channels.
Celiac is not exactly the same as gluten intolerance. Celiac typically has dramatic GI involvement and symptoms and often from childhood. Gluten intolerance does not always have GI involvement, and may be acquired.
