It might mean your GP taking you seriously. I tested positive on one of those nearly a year ago. Family history of CD and mild occasional digestive symptoms for a year or two. I only started to wonder after being unable to give blood due to a low blood iron reading. Kept a record of gluten containing food for a week, then tested myself. Almost immediate improvement after cutting out gluten, and my blood iron back to normal three months later.

I must get round to telling my GP.
