After eliminating wheat/gluten for a few weeks- months, the vili return to normal, which will make the biopsy appear normal. So, you actually have to be eating the wheat/gluten at the time of the test in order for it to be accurate. I also read that the blood tests are not near as accurate as the biopsy. I hope maybe this helps you.
