I see my Gastro on Nov 4 for my first consult. He said i could stay Gluten free up until two weeks before the test then I have to go back to eating Gluten. I am worried because I am afraid I will get sick. I have been very strict for two weeks and I am starting to feel better. I have been so sick for the past year that I hate to chance it.

I think it depends on what you are having done? Blood or endo?

Two weeks is usually long enough of a gluten challenge for and endoscopic biopsy.  2-4 weeks is usually the recommended time.  Because you are just doing 2 weeks, don't eat gluten lite.  Make sure you eat the equivalent of 1-2 slices of bread per day.

 

Try to make sure that they take 6 or more biopsy samples - the intestines has the surface area of a tennis court, and if damage is patchy you may need lots of samples to catch the damage.

 

Good luck with it!  :)

      Then it sounds like the thing you really need to focus more on is being more consistent with the gluten-free diet. Another suggestion I would make is to avoid using a lot of pre-made gluten-free food. Gluten-free facsimile flours are not enriched like their wheat counterpart and are full of empty calories. Focus on naturally gluten free foods that are nutrient and calorie dense. Have you had your vitamin D3 levels checked?

      It's normal for the pee to turn yellow when taking large doses of B vitamins, particularly riboflavin (B2). That doesn't mean they are building up in the kidneys. It means the excess is being excreted. The B vitamins are water soluble.

      Because since the vitamins are not absorbed due to the inflammation shown by high levels of tTg IGA levels,it will just cause buildup or the kidney will get tired .I already take vitamins and I could see them in my pee the next 4 minutes I don't feel like vitamins are well absorbed I took vitamin b 12 , magnesium and other things and my test results are normal but still not high considering I have been taking them now for almost 3 years .i think there is no point in taking them now since there is a high inflammation I should wait more until maybe I could start to absorb something I already took IV infusion for iron because it by pass the gut due to the poor absorbtion already .
