Well, thankfully the GI I went to see was very ready to listen to me and
agreed that we should do the blood test and biopsy. I pointed out that
being on gluten would be a good idea and he said that was a good point (he
was very interested in what I had to say and said that I taught him a lot,
so thanks to you all!)
The thing is, neither he nor I have any idea how LONG one whould be on
gluten before getting tested. I have been GF for only a month, so I want to
know if I can just have the tests done and expect accurate results. If I
should ingest gluten, how long should I do it for prior to the tests?
Fortunately I dont feel poorly when eating gluten, but if possible, I'd
like to give my body gluten-hiatus it deserves after 3 years of damage.
Your comments on these question are greatly appreciated.
BTW, I will be posting a summary to my previous question re: shouldn't a
relative have CD.
