Hi all,
After three months on a gf diet, I had my antibodies re-checked. I just got a notice today that says my blood work was abnormal but improved from my pre-diagnosis levels. They did not provide me with my specific test results.
My question is - this is normal, correct? I should expect my antibody levels to come down to a normal level within 3 to 6 months, right? So, since they appear to be coming down, I shouldn't panic - I should just continue with the gf diet and be re-checked again in 2 or 3 months?
I guess I am just looking for confirmation that I have the correct information regarding the time table for antibody levels to appear normal.
I also had a very bad gluten reaction two nights ago (although I have no idea from what since I haven't eaten anything out in a week - and eating out happens only at Outback). Will it really take me another 6 months to a year to heal again? And will this possibly mess up my next antibody test? Does it just depend on my body and how sensitive I am?
Thanks for your expertise!
Lori in Virginia
