Some of my family are finally being tested after my diagnosis 7 years ago.
 
Am I understanding correctly that the TTG test may not be valid if the patient has cut gluten out of their diet?
 
If I am correct, how long do they have to be back eating gluten for the test to be accurate?
 
(Perhaps I'm mixing up biopsy testing information with the TTG.)
