anybody explain kids celiac blood work?

[Idaboy]

My daughter had bloodwork done as part of a well child check up, she's 6. The results say "probable celiac and consider a biopsy". They've already scheduled an appointment with a GI specialist - but it's not for 3 months.

Her Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA, S came back at 12.5 which is high and her Immunoglobulin A (IgA), S came in at 107 which falls within normal...but says celiac probable? Looks like those numbers could also flag dermatitis herpetiformis...and she's always had SUPER sensitive skin. She has no other symptoms.

j/w if anyone here has an educated opinion on these numbers that I don't have to wait 3 months to hear.

Why was the test initially sent? Due to skin symptoms? Agree with others comments, 307 and NealSO2 pretty much sum it up. Would get the endo biopsy.

Wild idea here.......

Remove all grains for 3 weeks and feed pre and pro biotics to rebuild gut health... In that 3 weeks learn how to make sourdough and only use organic flour. Why? In the USA, non organic flour is chocked full of glyphosate which if you get a high enough loading in your digestive system can cause inflammation that resembles other stuff. It takes 7 days for your body to completely purge toxins and 14 days to normalize and balance gut bateria

How do I know this? I have 2 seperate friends that were gluten free for the last decade because "celiac" They can eat a true fermented sourdough made with organic flour and have ZERO issue

She had a well child check up (does this yearly) and they ran complete bloodwork as it had been 5 years since her last. At some point she must've told the doc she'd been using the bathroom more than normal lately (I think she had a stomach bug as it's been going through the schools). I'm guessing that's what got additional testing done as she really has no symptoms. She occasionally gets rash behind her knees and was SUPER sensitive to hand soap, lotion, make up, etc. That's calmed a bit over the past year or so. though.
