What is celiac?
Celiac disease is a serious genetic autoimmune disease. It is triggered by consuming a protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye. When people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the finger-like villi of the small intestine. When the villi become damaged, the body is unable to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, which can lead to malnourishment.You can read more here What is Celiac Disease?
Why would someone get a false positive syphilis test?
May be he make a little mistake to when you test. Actually if you don’t know how to test it and how to get the proper result then there can expect a common mistake.Suppose get a iCare Syphilis Test Kit and you started to take test and i can guarantee that if you have no proper knowledge how to take test then you will get the bad signal or result.So at first gather a little bit knowledge how to use it then apply. I think you will get a lot of youtube videos to learn.
A medical test for some condition has a false positive rate of 0.1% and a false negative rate of 0.1%. The condition is present in the 0.1% of a population. What is the probability that a randomly selected individual who tests positive actually has a disease?
The probability that the individual has the disease given that he tested positive is 0.1%.We can find this by using Bayes Theorem. Let E be the event that the random individual has the disease. F is the event that he does not.A is the outcome of a positive test result.Probability that the result is positive given that he has the disease is P(A|E) = 0.999, i.e probability of not getting a false negative.Similarly the probability that the result is positive given that he doesn't have the disease P(A|F) = 0.001, I.e getting a false positive. Now we can find the probability that he has the disease given that the test is positive. P(E|A) = [P(E)*P(A|E)] / [P(E)*P(A|E) + P(F)*P(A|F)]= (0.001*0.999)/(0.001*0.999 + 0.999*0.999) = 0.001 =0.1%
What is the probability of a false positive result from a blood test for Celiac Disease?

15 and tested positive for lupus?
went to the doc a few weeks ago for a physical and pain in my back (suspect it from cracking it and such, went away since) and they took a bunch of blood tests at the lab at least like 8 or 9 tubes of blood, everything came back okay, except my doc said that i tested positive for lupus, he believes its a false positive, asked if anybody in my family had it. My dad is adopted from birth so we dont know his side, but no one on my mothers side has it, but i know some people that have lupus have rashes and such and my brother whom is 24 has a rash all over his body, i dont think its lupus though, he developed it around 18 but doctors said it was something you'd develop as a infant and it would go away, so i dont think i have any connection to that but, what could make me test positive for lupus? From what i know my family is very healthy except my fathers thyroid problem but other then that no other health issues.
Am i a celiac or not?
It sounds like you have the silent form of celiac disease, which doesn't show up in tests - in particular in a biopsy. Celiac tests aren't 100% accurate anyway, but you have all the classic symptoms, so if your doctor is worried by the conflicting results, I am just hoping you can persuade him or her to diagnose you positive anyway. I am on a very low income, and I don't find gluten free eating too much of a problem. Remember that it's mainly processed food that contains gluten. I don't think slightly under £2 a week would make a big dent in my food bill, anyway. If you go back to granny's dinners of some meat, veg and potatoes, you've got a gluten free diet with no fancy additives. Eating real food instead of the processed stuff is not as hard as you may believe. It's up to you, but I refuse to eat food that makes me feel ill.
Is there any cure for celiac disease?
The disease where the body can´t absorb any gluten in food, and if eating accidentally too much of it, it causes diarea, blisters on the skin and up to 20% higher risk of cancer in various parts of the body. It can brake out any time of life and is NOT listed as an allergy, but as a genetic disease.
Gluten Free / Celiac Disease?
After my mom tested positive for celiac disease, I had myself and two girls tested. My youngest and I tested positive. My blood tests came back like yours - two positive and one negative. My GI Dr. and my daughter's pediatric GI Dr. were insistent that we continued eating gluten before our biopsies. Your negative biopsy could be a false negative due to your being on the diet. We have gone gluten-free as a family. We've started eating a lot of Mexican, Indian, and Thai food. Many of the Indian and Thai foods are labeled as gluten-free. I find them in the International section rather than the gluten-free section. We're lucky enough to live near several grocery stores that are good about labeling their own items are gluten-free: Wegmans and Wal-Mart. They make it easy to find salad dressing, BBQ sauce, marshmallows, cereal, etc that are in the regular sections that are ok to eat. As far as name brand products, check manufacturer's web-sites. Hormel, Frito-Lay, and others have great gluten-free lists. Labels always need to be checked closely because recipes can change quickly but we eat Bush Baked Beans, Rice Chex (newly gluten-free), and Delimex Taquitos for example. One of the best things that I have found are Corn Thins by Real Foods. They are like rice cakes but they are thin enough to eat like a sandwich. My kids eat PB&J on them all the time.
Can the blood tests for Celiac Disease reveal something else?
I went to my family doctor with intestinal cramping after every single meal. She referred me to a gastrointestinal doctor who told me it was IBS and there was nothing she could do. She said she could test me for Celiac since it started showing up pretty commonly around my age, but she thought it was pointless. Well, she took the blood anyway and called me 2 days later to tell me I had tested positive for Celiac and I needed to have the endoscopy/biopsy done to confirm. She never told me what my levels were, nor did I receive a copy, or I would post it for you. My biopsy came back negative for Villi damage, but showed inflammation and ulcers in my duodenum. In my followup, I asked her why I would test positive on blood panels and negative on biopsy, she assumed the blood work was a false positive. She said I could go on the gluten free diet if I wanted, but even if it had confirmed Celiac, the diet wasn't necessary because they were finding that Celiac had no long-term adverse effects. So I asked her, if Celiac didn't cause the inflammation and duodenal ulcers, what did? She shrugged her shoulders and walked out. I have tried the gluten free diet twice now. The first time I was on it for a year and a half and it just got too difficult and expensive to keep up with. I have been on it this second time for about 3 months and felt better almost immediately. Two weeks ago, I ate some gluten over the weekend and I have been sick ever since despite immediately returning to gluten free. I'm beginning to question Celiac and wonder if there isn't something else going on. Can Celiac cause the inflammation and duodenal ulcers I have? Or is there something else there that could show up on the Celiac blood work?
