I have diagnosed myself with celiac disease with a diet challenge. I would like to get the blood work/ endo done also. How long should I eat a reguar gluten-containing diet before having bloodwork done? My doctor does not know.

There's no one answer because everybody is different, but most celiac experts would like to see you eating gluten for at least 12 weeks. It might also partly depend on how long you haven't been eating it.

Make sure your doctor orders the full blood panel, which should include at least four tests -- total Iga, Iga, Igg and ttG.

Maybe you need to find a new doctor.

You know the more I think about it, I don't think the full blood panel was done with my blood tests. My doctor only mentioned two results. I'll have to ask to see what was actually tested.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
