hi i have to go for blood test on wednesday 25th, celiacs is new to me i was actually being treated for thrush which was not clearing up and fell upon the celiac thing as i had changed my eating hapits and realised i felt totally different when i did not eat wheat products.  as i have returned to eating gluten after a two week break,    the thrush is flareing up again i have some medication which will see me past the screening date, but until i go gluten free i dont see how the thrush will clear up its becoming uncomfortable 

i have all the symptoms back including joint pain constant wind etc, should i go to get the test done early and then contact doctor so i can stop eating gluten to clear up thrush as i feel to have to wait for the results and then wait for endo my become unbearable

If you were only off two weeks, you should be able to trust the celiac antibodies test.  Keep eating gluten until you have completed all testing and that usually includes the endoscopy. It sounds like you might have to wait for that procedure to be ordered.

Any medical doctor should be able to order an antibodies blood test, but it takes a Gastroenterologist to do the endoscopy.  

I would also ask for additional anti-fungal meds for the thrush.    Consider modifying your diet.  Ask your doctor about cutting back on sugar and simple carbs.
