Hi,

I've been diagnosed with CD 10 years ago.  Since then, I've bee doing as a 
routine thing, the Ig blood tests once a year and the results have always been 
normal.  However, the results from my last test area  moderately elevated, which 
was a big surprise.  I haven't made any changes to my diet.  The only incident I 
could think about is a trip to Mexico where I might have eaten something with 
gluten by mistake.  Here are my questions.

- Is it possible that one (or just a few) mistakes in the diet can alter the 
results of the blood tests?
- I am now on a 6 weeks period of a very conservative gluten free diet before I 
do the blood tests again.  Is this time frame reasonable to see positive changes 
on the blood test?
- Anybody has a experience that can related to mine?

Thank you in advance, Sebastian
