No... Not very much at all
I have celiac disease and have all my life. I know this because if I eat gluten im sick... if I don't im healthy.
I've had a blood test quite a few times and always negative. This is most likely because I've heard that if I'm not eating gluten for 6 weeks or more as my main diet, the reaction won't show up in a blood test. But I cant eat wheat/gluten for 6 weeks or more.
I've read on a poster for dining out and celiac disease, that the majority of people with celiac disease or wheat/gluten intolerance are not diagnosed.
Hope this helps!

What and how is a celiac test done?
A Celiac disease test involves finding out if the small intestine is sensitive to gluten, and such tests include the endomysial antibody (EMA) test and the tissue transglutaminase antibody test.
Can celiac carriers be detected?
Short answer: no. A parent may correctly identify an intolerance to gluten (and this is often the case as the disease is notoriously under-diagnosed by doctors and there are many misconceptions about it), but to correctly identify Celiac disease requires medical testing, either blood, biopsy or genetic assay tests. On the other hand, since gluten intolerance and Celiac disease have the same treatment, a diet excluding certain grains and grain products, and there is no medicine or cure for the disease, the diagnosis is of limited value. Going off gluten can make the disease harder to diagnose, but if you don't have access to testing or your doctors are uncooperative, and taking your child off gluten improves their health, then it's the right thing to do whether or not it's Celiac disease.
Can you get a negative home pregnancy test and a positive blood test?
Yes. The home tests aren't accurate and only the blood test is the accurate one.
Is a negative blood pregnancy test 49 days after intercourse accurate?
There are two kinds of blood tests for pregnancy tests -- quantitative and qualitative. Assuming you've waited long enough (much less than 49 days), and the test is done properly by the lab, the quantitative test is very accurate. The qualitative blood test is about the same accuracy as urine tests. Even the home urine tests are 97% accurate. So if you took the quantitative blood test you can be very sure it's right. Even with the other tests 97% is pretty accurate. I suspect the error rate in blood labs is greater than that.
Can you find out if you pregnant in a week?
No. Blood tests can be considered accurate around 10 days after ovulation and home pregnancy tests can be considered accurate around 14 days after ovulation.
When your pregnant can the doctor tell you have a disease by drawing blood?

electrocardiogram, stress tests, cardiac catheterization, imaging tests such as a chest x ray, blood tests
Is a blood test accurate to know if you are pregnant?
Normally, yes. But qualitative blood tests (yes/no) have more cases of error than quantitative tests (done days apart).
After miscarriage and 0 hcg Does it make it hard for pregnancy tests to read accurate?
Hello, If you have 0 HCG in your blood, and if you conceived after this then a pregnancy test would be accurate. A pregnancy test will not be accurate if you have any HCG in your blood.
What if you think you have celiac disease but tests come back negative?
If you've been having bad reactions to foods containing gluten, you may not have celiac disease, but rather, you could be gluten intolerant. The difference is that with celiac disease, you are so highly allergic to the gluten that it actually damages the tissue in the body, causing irreversible damage. With gluten intolerance, you are still "allergic" to gluten, but not to the degree of structural damage to the body. Instead you get side-effects such as bloating, pain, headaches, tiredness and fatigue, etc. My guess is that if you've had these (and probably other) side effects and you've had tests done to see if it is celiac disease, the fact that the tests have come back negative is a strong indication that you're most likely gluten-intolerant. I have just been diagnosed with being gluten-intolerant and my daughter too!) myself, and we have been able to avoid all the side-effects and have had a lot of relief by no longer including gluten-containing products in my diet.
