As I said previously, eating a lot of gluten the day before an endo is not likely to change the results one way or the other.

I would wear loose, comfortable clothes--they will have you change into a gown for the procedure.

I wore flannel pajama pants and a long sleeve top. For the procedure itself they make you wear a gown. After the procedure you may have a sore throat so soups and other foods along those lines might make you feel better.

They just told me to wear something comfortable and easy to get in and out of. I wore sweats and slip on shoes (flip flops, lol).

My throat was very slighly sore, so yeah, something easy to eat was good...although I was so hungry after the first endoscope/colonoscopy that I had a nutrition bar on the way home, lol.

I agree that eating wheat the day before won't accomplish much if you haven't regularly been eating it.

My daughter just wore her pajamas - we were the first scop of the morning and had to be there EARLY. I don't remember what she got to keep on and what she had to take off. My husband got to keep his pants but not his shirt and wore a gown. Good Luck tomorrow.

Eating a bunch of gluten now won't really do anything...so you should eat whatever you are comfortable with. I wasn't allowed to eat before my procedure, I wasn't allowed anything to drink either, had to stop at midnight the night before. After the procedure I wasn't very hungry, but they gave me a muffin and some juice in the recovery room. Later that day I had a nice cold fruit smoothie.

I would wear something comfy. They made me put a gown on for the procedure, but it was nice to be comfy on the ride home, and while I waited to get signed in and get things started.

Good luck!

      Not to eat or drink certain ones of what? Do you know what it is specifically you are trying to avoid when you eat? I kind of get the feeling you don't really understand much of this celiac thing.

      Hi Ya , yes I have access to my records. Now if I only knew what I was looking for?? But for me this not important. I already know not to eat or drink certain ones. And I also push the packet on occasionally. Whatnisnto be learned? What's the value to be learned?

      Hello, Jeff and yes, PTL! The word "marker" is typically used in connection with gene testing but gene testing is not usually where testing for celiac disease starts. It usually starts with blood work looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. The most popular antibody test ordered by doctors is the tTG-IGA test but there are others. Here is an overview: Do you have access to your medical record/test results online? What is your next step with this? I assume you are not yet eating gluten free.
