I have a positive antigen test for celiac disease (I had 2 elevated antigens actually, both associated with celiac disease). The gastroenterologist told me I have celiac disease. Yet I've never experienced symptoms.

I stopped eating gluten and the associated antigens went down to normal levels. I don't feel any better or worse though.

The literature says there are false positives, and I've always wondered if might be one of them. I've searched celiac forums and I've never encountered anyone with a false positives diagnosis. Lots of false negatives or non-celiac gluten sensitivities though.

I do have the gene required for celiac disease, but most who have this gene do not have celiac disease.
