My son's doctor's office [who I don't particularly trust] told me to keep him on gluten for about 3 weeks before testing him again... I thought I'd read here that it had to be at least 3 months? Can someone tell me how long we need to wait to get him tested?

Thanks!

How long has he been gluten free?
You do need to be eating equal to 2-3 pieces of bread daily for 3 months before testing for testing to be accurate.

I would say at least 3 months.

Thanks - that's what I thought (3 months)... He's been gluten-free for almost 9 weeks.
