Testing Today: Should I Eat Gluten Before?


TruePrep

Recommended Posts

TruePrep Newbie

Well, after a nearly 14 week gluten challenge, I am finally going in to have my blood testing done today. Full Celiac Plus panel which tests every antibody plus the genetic testing... 

I wonder if I should eat a big ole bagel before I go in?? lol

 

I know at this point it probably won't change things, yet for some reason I have the desire to gluten load before the test... I feel like I've been on this damn challenge forever and I'm excited/nervous to just get this testing done, and to feel absolutely certain it is accurate. Which sadly, you can never be absolutely certain of, as nothing is 100% perfect -- in testing, and in life!

 

Of course, after the test today I have to wait another 9 days to see the gastro and get the results which will be brutal I'm sure. This process is not for the impatient!  :P

You will probably want to keep eating gluten in case the gastro wants to do a endoscopy with biopsy

Yeah, I am really anxious to go back on my gluten-lite diet (or gluten-free if the results are positive) but I will continue with the challenge until I see the gastro next week in the event he needs to do an endoscopy. Thanks for the reminder kareng!

Well, I still have 5 days until I see the gastro and get the results of the blood work I had on Monday. My nightmare is that something comes back positive and I have to have an endoscopy, but that it will won't be able to be scheduled for another month or longer...

 

I feel bloated and I've probably gained ten pounds over the course of this 3 month gluten challenge... I keep thinking about just going back to my gluten lite diet now, and hope that everything comes back negative. And then if anything is positive I can just resume a gluten challenge a few weeks before the endoscopy. Then I think, what's a few more days, just see what the results are next week!

 

What a physical and emotional struggle this testing process has been... part of me wishes I never undertook it because I feel so much worse than I did when I was just eating gluten lite. Plus now the prospect of potentially having to go totally gluten free is hitting me  :(

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
