My son was positive for celiac antibodies, and the gastroenterologist said we would have to do further tests to confirm celiac disease, but he wasn’t in a hurry to do so. He said that he wasn’t opposed to leaving it alone for now and not finding out for sure, but, if we decided to have the diagnosis, he would have to start treating it.
