Many of these tests do not help those who cannot for whatever reason digest gluten. Skin tests are not reliable. Serum tests such as tissue transglutaminase for gluten will only be positive if moderate to severe damage of villi in small intestines exists.

Abstinence from offending foods with careful, supervised reintroduction is the best way.
