Hey Listmates!

A friend of mine self diagnosed herself as a celiac. She went GF for about 6
months and felt stupendous! She talked to her GI doc, and he did a blood
test, which came back elevated, and wants to do a small intestine biopsy. I
told her I would ask you guys how long does she need to go back onto a
gluten containing diet before she is guaranteed to not get a false negative
biopsy result.

I know that many people would just say that she doesnt need the biopsy,
especially if she is already feeling much better. She knows all of that
information, but just is wondering about the amount of time required.

Thanks in advance.
