Recently Glutened, Will That Affect My Annual Celiac Panel?

I am supposed to have my annual celiac bloodwork panel done this week? I was accidentally glutened two weeks ago and then again last week. I have been strictly gluten free for the past 11 months. With these two recent times of being glutened, will it affect my bloodwork? Should I wait before having the test done? How long will it take for the gluten to not show up in my bloodwork?

No, an accidental glutening won't affect your test. It takes several months of eating a diet heavy in gluten to even have a chance of affecting your antibody levels.

My son was glutened 4 days before his blood panel, and his tTG went from 4 to 17 in 6 months (normal is <21). His pediatric GI said it was not elevated from being glutened and she did not seem concerned, but I was not so sure. :unsure: I don't think it would hurt to postpone your bloodwork for a month or so just to be sure.

I'm curious why you have a panel done annually? Once you are diagnosed why would you need blood work done again?

Repeating your blood work helps you know whether you are accidentally ingesting gluten. Good (negative) results are a sign of good dietary compliance.

      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/
