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.

      Manitol and mri

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      I’m so glad they listened to your concerns!  I hope you get some answers from the MRI.

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      By Peace lily · Posted

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.
