Theyll Let Me Get Re-tested...right?

Will they allow me to get tested for Celiac Disease even if Ive already been tested twice?

As I mentioned in my other threads, I was 90% gluten free for a few months before both of the previous tests for Celiac Disease. Nobody told me that I had to eat additional gluten before the tests for 2-6 weeks. I hadnt eaten any before the 1st test, and only for 2 weeks before the 2nd test.

What Im worried about is if my doctor will allow it?

And will our insurance allow it?

Does anybody know? thanks.

Do you need a diagnosis for any reason? If you've been on the diet and feel it's working for you why go back for a diagnosis you may not even get?

Well its been settled now that I am getting tested again at the end of this month. Im seeing a GI for a possible Endoscopy and then Im asking to get the blood tests done again because they should come back correct now. Whether that be positive or negative. Either way after all this is done I should be going gluten free again.

I figure I might as well get the test done because Ive been eating at least some gluten daily for the past 8 months maybe. Also over a week ago I started adding +4 pieces of bread daily. By the end of the month I would have been doing that for about 30 days which is good. Ive definitely noticed that my symptoms have gotten worse since adding more gluten. Seems like this could finally be my answer after at least 6 years, if not more. And Im only 18 years old now. I wanted the diagnosis because then I will know for sure and it will be more official to me. I will have proof of it.
