How Much Gluten Do You Have To Eat?

I just went to a GI specialist who wants to do an endoscopy because my bloodwork was 'borderline' on celiacs. He says I need to eat gluten for the next three weeks until I get the endoscopy. Now, I KNOW I feel better when I avoid gluten, but I do want to get good results because Crohns disease also runs in the family and I want to be sure of what I do and do not have. I have been wheat free for about 2 months now, and mostly gluten free for about 2 weeks. There's probably no good answer to this, but I was wondering if theres some way of determining how much gluten you have to eat for the test to yield good results. I'd like to eat the bare minimum if there is one. What to do...

...aaand I just realized I probably posted this in the wrong place, and I should maybe re-post it. But I would still definitely appreciate responses. ;)

30 mg gluten per kg body weight, and the time is at least six weeks, might be more.

I think an equivalent of 4 slices of bread daily for 4 to 6 weeks also is considered a gluten challenge here in the US.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
