Been mucking around with going gluten free, now need to get tested properly. What's involved?

Hi. I have type 1 diabetes, now hyperthyroid as well. I mostly stopped eating gluten a couple of yrs ago, in an effort to help my blood sugar control. Because it was a personal choice, if I fancied gluten, like when offered cake, I had some. 

Since my hyperthyroid diagnosis my doctor suggested doing a gluten tolerance test. I feel like I'm eating a lot of gluten, very bloated and no longer getting hungry. It's only nearly 2 weeks. 

My doctor said 4 weeks should b enuf, that I don't need to do the whole six weeks. Everything I read says at least 6 weeks. I'm eating 3 to 4 slices of bread a day. Any opinions on how long I need to do this?

thanks.

I believe it's one slice of bread per day for 12 weeks. You should get the full celiac panel done because a high on any one test should lead to an endoscopy/biopsies being done by a gastroenterologist to verify a celiac diagnosis. The full celiac panel includes TTG IGA  and IGG, DGP IGA  and IGG, EMA, IGA.

Oh, I would hate to have you test negative because your gluten challenge was not long enough.

If you were going straight to an endoscopy to obtain intestinal biopsies, the challenge is much shorter.  At least your doctor recognizes the strong link between Thyroid, TD1 and celiac disease.  Talk to your doctor and discuss your concerns.  Share this research with him.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
