I'm curious about what testing technology you trust. To diagnose celiac my doctor used TTG IGA values followed by an endoscopy to confirm villous atrophy.

I also recently got a Food intolerance IGG test and a LOT of things were marked red, however, I'm not sure I trust all food intolerance test technologies. Have to read up on this more before I start taking it super seriously (like I do with gluten).

You're right, not all food intolerance tests are the same. For example lactose intolerance tests are pretty accurate but fructose intolerance tests are not as reliable, and need more studies.

I got the full experience: endoscopy, colonoscopy, allergies (skin tests), celiac test, lactose test, fructose test, etc.
