Gluten Free Before Blood Test

Hey there,

I went off of gluten before I got my blood test (not smart I know). My doctor was extremely rude to me and didn't understand why I WANTED to have celiacs.. of course I don't want Celiacs I just want to be diagnosed properly. I am not sure if I am gluten intolerant or celiac, but either way I won't eat gluten. I was wondering if it helped or made much of a difference to actually be diagnosed as a celiac? I feel like I might be a little bit in the dark with different ingredients I am allowed to eat, but that could just be me. Any thoughts?

Depends how long you had been off the gluten. The body still retains the antibodies for a while but after a few weeks they will start to diminish.

Why are these doctors so ignorant? I find the key is knowledge. The more knowledge you have, the more confident you are. When I talked with my doc yesterday she openly acknowledged that I know more about it than she does! Really get to know your subject, be firm and determined, then they have to sit up and take notice.

Mine sat with me and we looked up the tests on the internet together then she ordered several different ones - a lot more than the first one. I have also requested a gene panel to be done - anything that will back up my conviction that I am Celiac.

      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/
