I've read over and over at the Gluten File that a negative scope is not 100% reliable.

But the damage gluten does in the sensitive person can be pretty global. Jcc's daughter had seizures as an example when young and eating gluten. They went away when she went gluten free many years ago.
I read the Gluten File - I never gave too much attention to it until now. I was talking with my friend from Canada today and she mentioned about her nephew that for years he was always feeling sick. In and out of the emergency room without proper diagnosis. After 3 years of recurring medical expenses, the parents experimented on gluten-free diet, for just 2 months the boy improved! Now the boy is 7yrs old, healthy and very active.

I will have tests on IGg/IGa antigliadin antibodies and tissue transglutaminase.

Thank you.
