Indeed, that was what the guy I saw said too. They did an endoscopy and took biopsies.
(I'm not sure what you mean by "repeat" biopsies. I get to go back in six months' time after not eating gluten, and then they take further biopsies to see whether things are going back to normal in my duodenum.)
Some of the reading I did suggested that blood tests alone are fine as a screening tool but not terribly useful for diagnosing individual cases.

Good, that seems to be the gold-standard for diagnosis.
