Under what circumstances should a person demand an autoantibody test to definitively diagnose Celiac disease?
If the symptoms are persistent and do not go away with small changes in the diet, the person should consider having this test done to rule out other intestinal or digestive issues. They could try to eliminate gluten on their own if they already have a strong family history of this condition. This test can even be used by people who have been diagnosed with Celiac disease such that they can monitor the effectiveness of their gluten free diet.
