Mucus In Stool = Antibodies?

I've been having many of the symptoms described for celiac disease. I started reducing my gluten intake for about 4 days then went completely gluten free for 3 days. I felt awesome! Even the mucus in my stools disappeared. But now my Dr wants me to take the TTG test so I have started back on gluten for 3 days. And I feel awful. He says I should eat bread 5 times a day for 2 weeks -_-  I really doubt I'm going to be able to do that.

I already have the mucus back in my stool. Would that mean I should have plenty of antibodies floating around for the blood test? If my intestine is already inflamed? 

Thanks for you help! 

Beck

Look at this info:

You weren't off of gluten long, so a little gluten a day should do it according to this.

Awesome, should I still wait the 2 weeks or since I've already got the symptoms back plus mucus go in on Monday and get it over with so I can stop eating gluten?

Thank you so much for that link btw :)

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
