Hi, I have an endoscopy on July 7th, and I wanna know accurately how much wheat (gluten) I should be eating prior to the scope. My doctor said 1 bagel would be fine, but sometimes I don't eat a bagel and eat 2 Roti's (chapati's) instead. Is that enough prior to scope for accurate results! Please answer my question as soon as possible.

I think the OP must have mis-typed & the endoscopy is on July 7th instead of June 7th.

I have been told you need to be eating gluten for a solid 4-6 weeks. I was gluten free for just a few weeks then ate it for 5 days prior to my testing and I believe I got a false negative. I have a follow up with my Dr. You may want to reschedule and increase your gluten intake if you need to to make sure you get accurate results. I messed up :-(

The Univerity of Chicago is recommending about 1 to 2 slices of bread daily for two to four weeks prior to an endoscopy. (See Karen's link.)  You can substitute with other more yummier gluten-containing products like pasta and cake!  

You are cutting it close.  You will not get an accurate celiac  blood test because that requires 8  to  12 weeks.  Can you tell us more?  Why did you go gluten free?

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
