Do You Have To Eat Gluten

If I take dd (7) to the dermatologist, does it matter if she goes gluten free before we go? Her celiac panel came back negative but her doc said to go gluten free and see if it helps her rash/bumps. She's got major adhd tendencies and can probably benefit from gluten free anyway. If I take her off gluten, do you think that will make a difference to the skin biopsy around her leisons?

Thanks.

She will need to have active lesions for the doctor to be able to do the biopsy. I would not take her off of gluten until after testing is done.

Thanks! The doc today says it's molluscum and did not perform a biopsy. So far, it seems she is negative to gluten intolerance and celiac. So how come I'm upset about that? I guess I was hoping this was the answer to all her issues and now I feel lost and back to square one. Now I need to decide whether to take her off gluten for a trial anyway since I"m convinced that she does have trouble with it.

Go gluten free and see what happens. Get the book "the gluten connection" by dr. sheri leiberman. The best thing to do is the SCD diet. Google it on this forum and you will find good info on it. ADHD is very much connected to diet, especially gluten.. Lots of negative blood panels occur. ALL MY BLOOD tests have been negative. Do a saliva swab test, go to the University of Chicago Celiac Center website and you will find out how to get it. It is very easy and it doesn't matter if you are actively on gluten or not, it is a genetic marker test. VERY HELPFUL.

hope that helps

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      Thank you so much for your help, @trents and @Staticgypsy! I so appreciate your thoughts. My diet is high in foods with oxalates and I don’t notice any issues there. If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was man...

      Sorry, @JudyLou, as reread your post, I see that you have had gene testing done already.

I am and wish I wasn't. If there was a detector of gluten in the air it would make a world of difference.

If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was many years into gluten-free eating (and was much more careful at that point), I’m just baffled. Many, many thanks to you both.
