My IgA is low (0.5) so I worry that a lot of the blood testing for coeliac will be inaccurate. I had a negative on the coeliac test my GP did, but it is IgA based. I tried to get an IgG test but GP said no, that the IgA test result was okay because my IgA was low but not deficient. Don't know if that's right or not. I'm going to ask for the biopsy but I doubt that he is going to agree - despite my gut symptoms which he is ignoring.
Are there any other private tests accurate for coeliac / gluten intolerance, not based on IgA?
Enterolab does a faecal fat absorption test that's supposed to show villi damage, presumably an alternative to a biopsy?

The Enterolab test is not recognised by a lot of doctors, I don't know whether it is accurate or not.
