Why a negative test might not mean you're going to STAY negative....
Got this from the November 21st edition of the Celiac.com newsletter. I hope more research is done on this subject:
Gluten Intolerance May Increase with Age
So I guess if you've been checked for celiac disease in the past and were told you didn't have it, if you become more symptomatic, get checked again. Although I don't know how long it would take for a sero-negative person to test positive. Probably safer just to do a trial gluten-free diet if you are symptomatic, no matter what your test results are. If you end up feeling better, you win. If not, no harm done.
