Hi all,
I found this website a few days ago and am eternally grateful for the answers, help and sense of validation I now feel. I had never connected many of the symptoms I experience to gluten. I too thought I was a hypochondriac at one point. With that said; here's my story and my question.

I had been experiencing symptoms exactly like morning sickness for about two years and, after many pregnancy tests every month, I finally decided to go see a doctor. After being tested for everything under the sun and taking every ct scan available, ruling out lupus, MS, etc. etc. my doctor informed me my blood work showed I was allergic to wheat. Next step, a biopsy with the GI.

The next available appointment was a little more than a month away. I had eaten very little carbohydrates to begin with and with the prospect of having Celiac's Disease, began a gluten free diet (Oops). You see, I was never informed that for the test results to be valid there has to be gluten in your system. The test result came back negative.
I continue a gluten free diet regardless of the test results because my body feels better but my question is this; knowing what I know now, should I reintroduce gluten to my system and re-take the test? Is there an upside to having definitive results even if I have already changed my diet?
Thanks in advance for your help.
