Q: Can the Cyrex Array 3 show whether I have celiac disease? A: The standard tests for celiac disease at your doctor’s office will look for antigliadin, antibodies, anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies and endomysial antibodies. Historically, these have been the blood tests to indicate if someone is on the celiac disease spectrum. Our experts tell us that the diagnosis of CD can only be made conclusively by endoscopy with biopsy. But it is NOT NECESSARY in most cases to have endoscopy to validate trying a GF diet when you have blood markers elevated for CD or against peptides of gluten.
