Gluten For Three Weeks!

[Milo]

I have been gluten free for 10 months, in those 10 months I have had one "normal day". My D has always been there, sure I had some improvements but the running to the bathroom never really stopped.

So I wanted to get a confirmed diagnosis of Celiac because my doctor did a blood test last December and my anti-bodies for Gliaden came back hightened so she told me to go gluten free. I did, and I did not cheat, I saw some minor improvements but not anything major. Of what I've read on this board the biopsy is the way to confirm the diagnosis so I am scheduled for November 6. My gastro doctor (different from the gliaden lady) told me I had to eat gluten for a while before the test to get an accurate reading. I'm psyched but want to make sure all this is accurate from the experts here on the board.

I have been loving just the past 24 hours of eating all my old favorites but I don't want to do anything that is going to hurt me in the long run but I want the test to be accurate.

Should I just enjoy the gluten and be ready to give it up again when the test results come back?

Dont go crazy with it, eat like you used too before going gluten-free. And yes it is very important that you consume gluten before these tests are done. My idiot doctor told me to go gluten-free before my tests, what a waste of 500 dollars on my part.

I would enjoy it while it lasts, but as the saying goes.... only in moderation. lol dont eat a large pizza in one sitting, things like that.
