I’m guessing it would take a long time. Being I had a blood test the tissue transgluten very high result I’m just wondering if I need anymore test. 
 

if I should just go gluten free a while and see how I feel. I done it for a few days it hard so many things have gluten in it.

 

any advice sound be great

This can very a lot depending on the country, or state within a country, the health plan you have, etc. It seems like in Europe it can take a few months, where most people in the USA have to wait a few weeks, but sometimes longer.

In your case the easiest way to find out how long it would take would be to contact your doctor and ask. Please let us know what you find out.

Ask your doctor, but you may be able to go gluten-free now, and then go back on gluten and eat 2 slices of wheat bread daily for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy.

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
