Celiac Confusion?

I have a question. I went to my primary care physician with symptoms that mirror celiac disease. He ran a celiace disease panel and checked some other things as well. When he called me with the results he said I may have celiac and to make an appt with a gastroenterologist. When I looked at the results the only thing abnormal were my transglutaminese Iga was 27.3 (my labs reference number was >15 positive). Does this mean I am positive for Celiac? Btw my mother has Celiac Disease and I have a hypothyriid which is treated with Synthroid. Why did my primary dr say maybe? My other numbers were normal. What are your thoughts?

Given family history and your test results, I'd suspect Celiac Disease. If you want the official gold standard diagnosis, go get the biopsy, but do not stop eating gluten before the test...otherwise, the test will be inaccurate.

Otherwise, if you'd rather skip the test, do your own gluten free diet trial for a while (minimum 3 months - it takes 6-8 weeks for gluten to clear from the gut tissues, and another 6-8 weeks for any damage to heal) and see if you notice any improvements. Most people who have a gluten tolerance issue notice improvement fairly quickly.
