Celiac testing questions

So I went gluten free a few years ago to try to improve many symptoms I was having. I have been fairly consistent although I do cheat on occasion and have definitely been accidentally exposed now and then (and feel awful afterwards). I have recently been having abdominal pain and digestive issues again so I asked my doctor to finally do a celiac test. I have read that you should be eating it for 6 weeks in order for the test to be accurate but the doctor said that if it was in fact what was causing my symptoms that it should show up. So they did some blood work but forgot to do the celiac test which ended up giving me about a week to start eating gluten before the make up test. I was just wondering if anyone else has gotten positive results with such little time back on gluten? This week has been awful and I feel terrible but I just want to find out for sure

The suggestion is 8-12 weeks per celiac center in chicago. My doc is a celiac specialist as well and told my to wait a couple more weeks to get tested when I was 2 months into eating gluten again. So, I did mine at 10 weeks. 

I am sure some folks test positive after just a week, or 6.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Thanks, @trents, lactose intolerance is different than a reaction to casein. Consuming casein could be causing that continuing antibody reaction causing localized inflammation. Still worth trying a diet without it. Since you mentioned your father passing, you may want to add Benfotiamine. Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine Vitamin B 1 that has been...

      @pilber309, as knittykitty pointed out, lactose intolerance is not the only issue with dairy in celiac community. Lactose intolerance has to do with the sugar component of dairy, lactose. However, some celiacs react to a protein fraction in dairy, namely, casein, like they do gluten.

      Can You Really Trust Gluten-Free Menus? What Every Celiac Needs to Know Before Eating Out

      Over the last 3+ years I've had very good experiences with waitstaff being very knowledgeable about celiac in some chain and other restaurants. Some good news: I recently verified that Jack in the Box has separate fryers for breaded food and their French fries. I've had their S/W chicken salad (grilled), fries and TONS of their tacos with no ill effects...

      Thanks, @trents, lactose intolerance is different than a reaction to casein.  Consuming casein could be causing that continuing antibody reaction causing localized inflammation.  Still worth trying a diet without it. Since you mentioned your father passing, you may want to add Benfotiamine.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine Vitamin B 1 that has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Tryptophan is helpful, too.  Tryptophan is derived from Niacin Vitamin B 3, and helps repair the intestinal tract.  Tryptophan works well with the amino acid Theanine.  So all three help immensely.   We need additional thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill and exercise a lot  or do physical labor.  The brain uses the most thiamine of any organ, twenty percent of intake!   What's your fruity probiotic?
