No I don't think I ever was tested for Celiac disease. I know they did a CRP lab draw (inflammation levels) and if that comes back positive then the doc said it's probally not fibro. I am concerned because I looked up in my medical lab books I have from school and if the levels are positive it can be an indication of Lupus. I've expressed my concern to the Allergist about this and she feels is not Lupus but my antibody defiency makes me more suseptable to developing Lupus possibly.
Sometimes I think there's way to many cooks in the kitchen here....everyone has a new opinion and new test.

If you did get tested for celaic and the tests were negative you should know there are false negatives on the tests. They are not not perfect. So it is best to try the gluten free diet for 3 to 6 months anyway for cause you can't trust the tests. It take months to learn how to do the GF diet correctly and start to feel better. So a couple weeks is not adequate.
