Waiting On Biopsy

hello,

I have a simple question here that may have already been answered and I have just not found it yet on the site. But if I receieved news after a blood test from my doctor that I may have celiac disease, and i have to wait for possibly two weeks to get a biopsy....am I supposed to get going on a gluten free diet right away. I read somewhere that I should not be gluten free to ensure an accurate test result..I am just wondering what steps I should take over the next couple of weeks waiting for the biopsy results..

thanks

Follow your normal diet (including gluten) in order not to get false results. 2 weeks is not long time so just be a little patient. Hope everything goes as you wish.

Do keep to your full gluten diet. Make sure even if the endoscopy comes out negative that you give the diet a good strict try for at least 3 months after it is done. You don't have to wait for the results appointment to get started on the diet. You have come to a great place to find out what you need to do. You can use this time getting ready by getting a new toaster and eating up the gluten food while you research what you can eat that is safe. Welcome and ask any questions you need to.

Hardly rude just short concise and to the point. I was up at 4am twiddling my thumbs again today so I have lots of extra hours in my day to be longwinded.

      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/
