Should I Keep Pushing?

[woly-boly]

I had a bad allergic reaction to a jalapeno cheddar bagel from Winco Foods, March 30th 2021. This lead me to the ER and eventually an allergy specialist. I'm allergic to wheat, barley, corn, soybeans, oats and tomatoes. I also can't drink beer as it causes me to go into anaphylactic shock, I've known about the beer thing for about 10 years. 

After the bagel incident, I stopped eating bread and anything bread related. I met with a doctor and convinced him to test me, he ordered a Celiac Panel Reflex To Titer on 5/6/2021, however, when I brought up the fact that I had not eaten bread or gluten in several weeks, he told me it did not matter?! I explained to him all the literature I've read said otherwise and I was afraid the results to the panel would come back negative based on that. 

I tested negative. 

Should I keep pushing this issue? I feel like I wasted my time and they billed my medical for no reason.

If it was a celiac disease blood panel, your doctor was incorrect, and you must eat gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before a test for it to be accurate. The only way you could get re-tested would be doing this again, and eating gluten daily for at least that long, but 12 weeks may be required:

In your case it doesn't sound like a safe thing to do, so I wouldn't recommend it. You should try to get your money back, provided your doctor knew you were gluten-free (although he should have asked you this, or at least mentioned it when he scheduled the test).
