Hi,

I am going for a Celiac test at the advice of my endocrinologist. I have another post that describes some of my history, but want to put this question out there...

When I saw my endo yesterday morning, I had been gluten free for 4 days. Then yesterday lunch I resumed eating glutenous foods at the advice of my endo so that I can be tested for the antibodies.

My question is, I was gluten-free for 4 days, then resumed eating gluten for 24 hours. Anyone have any thoughts on whether I can go for the test this afternoon or should I wait until Monday as suggested by my endo? I don't want to wait any longer than I have to!!!

Hi, I personally do not think these 4 days matter for the blood tests or for the biopsy either.

I was virtually gluten-free because of a low-carb diet for some months so I tested negative....one really needs a lot of gluten to test positive.
